From the authors blog post:
This makes me very sad. In the "early days" of the internet, it was a place where people were "good". Yes, there were trolls, but you could often ignore and avoid them.
Now, with the pressure to make "AI useful" and more human-like - the line between AI and people is blurring and will continue to blur.
It's easy to create an army of AI trolls and it's only going to get easier as time goes on. Yet, no-one is interested in an "army of non-troll AI's" ("... that's a super post. Very insightful. People will love it. Good job, here's your gold star!"). So, people with opinions are the minority on a text based internet and this trend will only continue.
As a technical exercise, I think "how can I ferret out the human posts/content?" Yeah, Ars said that they tag posts when it was written by AI (....riiiiiight...). This means I need to blindly trust them and any other company.
The only (reliable) solution, I can think of, is to destroy, cripple, or sacrifice the anonymous "tenant" of the internet. And, as a privacy focused individual, this makes me very sad.
