The internet is grappling with a concerning issue of fake content generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, Sports Illustrated faced accusations of publishing articles written by AI-created authors. Although the publication denied these claims, the prevalence of AI-generated spam and low-quality articles in search results is raising concerns. The “Dead Internet Theory” is gaining traction, suggesting that a large portion of online content is manipulated by bots and algorithms. AI is also being utilized to create fake messages and songs, leading to suspicions that AI bots are attempting to establish credibility for future hacking or political manipulation. Cybersecurity reports indicate that a significant number of online accounts are likely AI bots, which pose a threat to democracy by spreading propaganda. To address these challenges, X has introduced the “Grok analysis button,” enabling real-time data analysis and content generation. However, there are worries that bots may exploit this feature for trading and astroturfing purposes. The rise of AI-generated content presents significant challenges to the authenticity and credibility of online information.
