gollark: Why would slightly better fake news generation suddenly cause a massive upsurge? They have smaller GPT models *now*.
gollark: Not enough for a huge impact? Have you *not* already heard of people going on about the big issues with fake news?
gollark: And? There are lots now.
gollark: Humans can write that fine. We already have such issues. The solution isn't limiting ability to automatically write things but people actually checking facts.
