> The problem is that the "throw text at the wall and see what sticks" can be gamed by seeing how many upvotes you get. You can get machines to receive upvotes not by actual helpfulness, but by fooling people.
The most popular human-generated content on the web is created this way. People post fake news articles and fictional how-to content just for clicks. They copy and riff off of other fake content. "Woman mistakes wild animal for a pet and takes it home" is an entire genre now. Not to mention that conspiracy media was an industry before the internet.
But you're right that the quantity and quality will eventually far exceed what humans are capable of. Imagine DALL-E but for conspiracies and religions. Type in a few words, wait a few seconds, and generate a bot cult leader, capable of social media usage and text and video conversations, with more powerful charisma than Jim Jones, acting independently on the internet and creating a cult around whatever theme you asked for. Imagine that at the fingertips of anyone on the internet, and governments and corporations having access to far more.
