Drowning in AI Generated Garbage: the silent war we are fighting

All over the web, we are witnessing very spectacular results from statistic algorithms that have been in the work for the last forty years. We now have very popular and direct applications for them: give the algorithm a simple text prompt and it generates a beautiful original picture or a very serious-sounding text. Facebook created algorithms to show us the content that will engage us the most. The algorithms are already feeding themselves on their own data. From now on, we have to treat anything we see on the Internet as potential AI garbage. The picture gallery from an artist? The very cool sounding answer on Stackoverflow? This article in the newspaper? This short viral video? This book on Amazon? They are all potential AI garbage. We were expecting killing robots, we didn't realise we were drowned in AI generated garbage.
