They're going to use AI to train AI*

So nothing new here

Use AI to train AI to detect AI, got it.

Yes, it's called a GAN and has been a fundamental technique in ML for years.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but what if they added another GAN to check the existing GAN. It would fix everything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

My point is just that they're effectively describing a discriminator. Like, yeah, it entails a lot more tough problems to be tackled than that sentence makes it seem, but it's a known and very active area of ML. Sure, there may be other metadata and contextual features to discriminate upon, but eventually those heuristics will inevitably be closed up and we'll just end up with a giant distributed, quasi-federated GAN. Which, setting aside the externalities that I'm skeptical anyone in a position of power to address is equally in an informed position of understanding, is kind of neat in a vacuum.
