Could ‘fake text’ be the next global political threat?

An AI fake text generator that can write paragraphs in a style based on just a sentence has raised concerns about its potential to spread false information

Earlier this month, an unexceptional thread appeared on Reddit announcing that there is a new way "to cook egg white[s] without a frying pan".

As so often happens on this website, which calls itself "the front page of the internet", this seemingly banal comment inspired a slew of responses. "I've never heard of people frying eggs without a frying pan," one incredulous Redditor replied. "I'm gonna try this," added another. One particularly enthusiastic commenter even offered to look up the scientific literature on the history of cooking egg whites without a frying pan.
