I have to say, it was much better than I thought it would be & better than a lot of news stories. I wouldn't use AI to write for me but if others want to, I guess I don't care. Should they tell people, though, that the words are AI & not their own?

Last week on FB, there was a image of a spectacular mansion of a spooky variety, the kind you imagine Wednesday Addams would live in. The caption said it was in eastern Europe somewhere, & built in the 1700s but turns out it was an AI generated image, presented as real. Who knows if the original poster knew it was real or AI generated, but this is going to be a bigger problem as the technology gets better.

I think using AI as an editor for non-professionals is probably ok with limitations. Freethinker65 Feb 2023 #27
