This article was long winded and indirect in a weird way I’ve never seen before. It wasn’t gpt 3, was it?

Another question... Say we discover a new planet in 2030. Countless low quality, click/ads driven websites are going to report about it using gpt-4 text and dall-e 4 pictures.
Now how do we train gpt-5 and dall-e 5 to know about that new planet, yet somehow sort between what's "real" about that planet and what's poorly generated by inferior AIs (by that I mean inferior to the new version of the AI we're trying to train)?
Do we now need an AI to first determine what's real and what's not to know how to correctly train the new AI without using polluted data?
Mind blown.
What may happen is that everyone begins to realize that the shit they read every day is pointless garbage that doesn't actually pertain to them at all.
Case in point: I crossed the border into Canada this week and woke up one morning with some extra time for google news doom scrolling before I got out of bed. It took about halfway through the scroll to realize I was logged out and that all the crime and politics headlines I was reading were about things that had happened in Canada. Which meant nothing to me and which I would never have heard about otherwise. (And yet there was a whole different galaxy of stories that had clearly been going on for some time). This was like in the 80s when you'd intentionally turn on the local TV news in your hotel room to see local broadcasters wherever you were visiting, except it wasn't intentional. And yet I realized my brain could not give two fucks before coffee if these stories had been generated by an AI or they were irrelevantly Canadian, I just needed to doom scroll some shit before breakfast. But after that I stopped reading the news and just enjoyed being in a country where nothing much happens. So my prediction is that the moment people realize they're reading AI-generated news, they'll just tune out completely. It would be like suddenly realizing you've been listening to CBC.

What, a Wayback Machine copy from ~ the original byline[1]? Brewster Kahle is in on it too? This goes higher up than I thought[2]...

It would also be pretty hilarious to have an article debunking claims about secret technology being secretly written by an AI.
Nothing is real at a quantum level.
