Comment on ‘World Of Warcraft’ Players Trick AI-Scraping Games Website Into Publishing Nonsense

Unfortunately at some point AI will be able to generate articles indistinguishable from human ones by search engines.

I don’t see why they couldn’t generate even crappier articles than today, but ranking better on search results, if they are set to learn SEO, optimizing their articles specifically from being fed back their search ranking. AI could learn to actively boost their rankings by searching for their own articles, accessing the result links, cross linking articles and commenting about them on their own pages or on social media.

It will be a new SEO war, writer AI vs search engine AI.

Though AI regulation should be easier to enforce than sponsorship and such when it comes to news articles.

If we just require companies to always mark their work as being AI work then we can quite easily just have a search engine that toggles AI results.

But government is usually 5 years behind tech at least and in the meantime companies like Google will just choose the path of optimal profit.

  It won’t work in the long term. There will always be a country welcoming your content servers, out or reach from regulations.
  
  Then what will we do? Have government blocking those countries at country border firewalls?

  The EU already regulated all the AI (and are very proud of it). Even though there is not one mayor AI company based in the EU 🤷

  I dunno, maybe it's just my perspective growing up from having a clecovision to seeing what is available today. I accept this next step. Sure it's opening a can of worms and there are going to be issues but I do not think this technology is bad in and of itself. We should approach it with an open mind and make regulations on it that make sense as we run into new problems over time.
