People are very concerned about their own ability to discern AI-generated content versus human-generated content.

And with good reason! ChatGPT passed the famous Turing Test in the survey. People couldn't tell the difference between Stephen's words and ChatGPT's.

Beyond their value to foreign propaganda campaigns, bots have long played a role in U.S. politics.

So in some sense, people may be overestimating the impact that AI-driven bots could have. Republicans have long used them to fake support. I saw this in my former career as a right-wing media strategist.

The bigger possible effect of AI is likely to be in the realm of "deep fakes," simulated video that often looks very, very real. They've been around for a while but have not yet had a political impact.

This is certain to change in the near future, especially since making deep fakes is now a form of entertainment as the technology has improved. fastcompany.com/90876748/ai-ce
