A few times, I've come across Stackoverflow questions on technical topics I'm not very familiar with, and the question makes no sense to me (there are clear spelling, grammatical, and consistency errors). But there's an answer, and a comment exchange that seemed to resolve the question. So, I conclude, it's just my unfamiliarity prevents me from seeing through those errors.

A related phenomena is seeing fundamental errors in a newspaper article on a topic you're expert in... but believing articles on topics you're not familiar with.

This can operate as a partial turing test: a gradient for iteration.

Terrifying -> inevitable. Imagine a botnet full of fake AI users trained with a corpus of legit HN posts. Let them loose commenting on random articles, beginning slowly but ramping up until they’re 99% of all comments. In a few years, the standard Silicon Valley “Growth Hacking” job description will include using AI to deploy fake content to your competitors’ sites, destroying their user community.

Two potential solutions: Reputation and a new account fee. Nonsense flooding will make it more difficult for people to establish their identities on a network, but once it's established, they'll be in the clear. If someone has to pay to have their first thread or two reviewed, it will take serious money to flood a site to death.

I was with you until you said you wanted to exempt the politicians. I would charge them double.

I share your concern.

This would be even better: Email recipients grant free access to whoever they want. A tiny price would be charged only when sending to someone who has not granted such access.

I like the idea.

Unfortunately, even though snail mail has associated costs I still get a ton of junk.

Yes, I was heavily inspired by them :) Glad someone made the connection! I actually hadn't seen thisresumedoesnotexist.com yet; but I loved https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com and https://thisrentaldoesnotexist.com

https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com Oh my god, some of these look terrifying, pure nightmare fuel.

I presume this is due to tokenization or something, but there's a lot of extra whitespace in the code samples that make them look very unrealistic: def _ _ init__(self, default): " " " See if the default value for the field on a view is timespan. " " " value value And indentation is also missing completely. Maybe you need to use another NN to guess which language the fake code is in and autoformat it accordingly!

Fortunately, the problem minimally affects SQL.

This reminds me of the Ponzo famous line on Becket's Waiting for Godot.
