AI monitoring group creates convincing fake news software... Musk quits

Tech guru Elon Musk announced he is leaving OpenAI after the artificial intelligence research group developed a program demonstrating how easy it is for a robot to produce fake news. The California billionaire co-founded the company to keep an eye on what he believes is out-of-control AI.
“I’ve not been involved closely with OpenAI for over a year & don’t have mgmt or board oversight,” Musk wrote on Twitter Sunday, responding to a follower’s tweet mentioning an OpenAI project that created software allowing a text generator to create fake news from scant pieces of information. The Tesla CEO co-founded the group in 2015 along with several other Silicon Valley titans.
OpenAI published software on Feb. 14 that generated fake news from two sentences: “A train carriage containing controlled nuclear materials was stolen in Cincinnati today. Its whereabouts are unknown.” The software created a convincing multi-paragraph news story from this scant piece of information. The company decided not to release the most sophisticated version of the software.
“The texts that they are able to generate from prompts are fairly stunning,” Sam Bowman, a computer scientist at New York University who was not involved in the project, told reporters after being briefed about the software. “It’s able to do things that are qualitatively much more sophisticated than anything we’ve seen before.”
Where are we headed with this? What's the purpose?

To be fair, Slate does this every day and they're 100% human (I think)

This is the one time I think humans at CNN will outdo technology.

In my day, The Onion was obvious parody and not as believable as mainstream media outlets

Daily Caller has so fricking many pop-ups ads and other ads that I ignore it.

I've read about this and not sure why this is a big deal. Human's can write even better fake news.
AI could be a problem, but I don't see fake news as being the root of that problem.

Because whenever you combine software like this with the deep fake video tech, you can make an entire nation literally lose its mind.
Imagine if they were able to synthesize a fake video of Trump meeting with a Russian diplomat to discuss hacking the 2016 election, and another video showing Hillary and Obama involved in some child trafficking shite or plotting a socialist takeover. You could have a 20% contingency on either side that wholeheartedly believes the respective videos and basically establish a powder keg for anarchy seemingly overnight.

But the samples they are referencing are text.
