I do not worry too much about machine generated text. I mostly work on steem and don't think there is too much of it here. The comments I get on my posts are from humans as far as I know.
I am in some fb groups for a few controversial subjects. It's pretty obvious when paid opposition shows up. I do not know if the words are machine generated, but based on how they read, the "real" people see through them quickly.
I think my kids read lots of AI generated texts through websites like buzzfeed and such.
I was wondering how they could possibly come up with so much content, and so many quizzes and such, until I realized it was all probably done by AI.
I am happy about it as I think its better for them to be employing AI than to be having mindless journalists but its still scary cause my kids is sucking up all that information!
Wow, that's a brave theory @metzli! Don't you think that they just hire an army of cheap journalists?
It’s probably a combination.
The other day my kid was working on a “never ending Harry Potter quiz” there is no way a person wrote that (I hope).

Exactly.
Thank you for your comment dear @fitinfun! I'm sorry for such a late reply, but I were on holidays and had very limited access to Internet.
That's right, but we need to consider the fact that AI generated text is currently on a very basic level. Additionally, such programs are usually not open source (people do not have access to the code), so you would need to be really advanced at machine learning (probably on an academic level) to develop something like that on your own. But when this technology gets more adoption and programmers with basics skills will be able to use it, they may use it in a wrong way
