AI-generated #fiction is flooding #literary magazines — but not fooling anyone

At times, the submitter hasn’t even bothered to replace “[name]” with their own.

Using #ChatGPT, The Verge was able to replicate some elements of submissions Williams has seen. A prompt to write a short #sciencefiction #story — plus copy-and-pasted information from #Asimov’s submission guidelines — produced stories with dozens of similar titles in succession, like “The Last Echo,” “The Last Message,” “The Last Day of Autumn,” and “The Last Voyager.”

Now imagine what potential we are giving away and how much #energy we are wasting because #capitalism sets the wrong incentives.

In the #future, one side will generate masses of #spam via #AI in the hope of making a quick buck, and the other side will try to fend this off with AI. We can automate the entire #internet with all the trolls, fact checkers and #fake #news. The result will probably be much worse than #Facebook and #Twitter already are.
