gollark: However, this probably isn't actually true because people don't read news randomly selected from all published news.
gollark: Not necessarily. If we assume that there are some amount people of devoting some fixed amount of time hours a day to reading news, and right now it's 90% real/10% fake, and writing 5x more content would push it to 80%/20%, that would be bad.
gollark: Which won't necessarily go faster just because you can write a few times more.
gollark: People actually spreading your content, quite possibly?
gollark: I don't disagree. However, you can already *do that* and I don't think the main limitation to fake news is just how fast/cheaply you can generate text.
