Worse, since generating a whole bunch of potentially correct text is basically effortless now, you've got a new batch of idiots just "contributing" to discussions by leaving a regurgitated wall of text they possibly didn't even read themselves.

So not only those are not fact checking, when you point that you didn't ask for a LLM's opinion, they're like "what's the problem? Is any of this wrong?" Because it's entirely your job to check something they copy-pasted in 5 seconds.

So many posts on on social media are obviously AI generated and it immediately makes me disregard them but I'm worried about later stages when people make an effort to mask it. Prompt it to generate text without giveaways like dashes. Have intentional mistakes or a general lack of proper structure and punctuation in there and it will be incredibly hard to tell.
