#2People already believe garbage at a pretty alarming rate. It's easy to guess at a number of possible outcomes here:
- More junk text moves the public to doubt legitimate information even further than they currently do.
- There is so much human-generated junk text that adding more of it via AI actually doesn't have much of an effect.
- People return to lean on experts, perhaps even more than before. (just as a number of tech-literate folks have now returned to relying on brand name.)
Speculation is easy of course, so who knows what will actually happen.

#3The fact that there are no advanced AI chat-bots because they might (I mean they will lol) say something offensive is absurd. we are such babies.
General AI is already here. It should be implemented on twitter or wherever and used to teach us about ourselves. driven by engagement, untethered by morals. A dispassionate glimpse into what sells. An AI that exploits our engagement, for good or evil.
The bot would become infamous and in due course banned. Teaching us even more.
But we are so fragile.

#4It'll be interesting to see how colleges and universities react to GPT-3. Students will surely use it to write entire assignments.

What are you on about? There are AI driven chat bots. When they aren’t used it’s not because they might say something offensive. General AI is not here by any definition or redefinition of General AI. We are not fragile.

Ah yes, the only possible issue with releasing fully general AI is that it might say something offensive. Not because we don't have it at all, not because if we did we shouldn't just let it out like a lion in the gazelle pen to see what it does, because of those snowflakes!

True. But a simple API to generate junk text? It can scale, cheaply, beyond measure.
No need for a troll farm, hiring, managing and training tens or hundreds of people.
A reasonable amount of cash, a bit of motivation, some moderate technical skills, and voilà! Anyone can compete with the Russian troll farms now and build their own networks of hundreds or hundreds of thousands sufficiently credible (as humans) fake accounts spewing garbage and patting each other on the back via likes, retweets and whatnots.
All with the appropriate fake news blogs and sites happily churning out grammatically correct nonsense that makes (enough) sense.

I mean we're very fragile, which is why if we had General AI we shouldn't release it at all, but that's of course not what OP was saying lol.
