What is "real news"? Anyone with some Wordpress experience and a domain can make their own "news site" and publish "real news".

I don't want to confirm or deny this: Singapore, Russia, China, and other countries are already doing this at a far more malicious and massive scale.

We're at least hoping people would understand how "AI generated news articles" look like, so one day they can spot them and know that the news you're reading is not real news.

Giuliani: No, no, no —

Todd: This is going to be a bad meme.

Giuliani: Don’t do, don’t do this to me.

Todd: Don’t do ‘truth isn’t truth’ to me.

It's one thing to bring up the topic for discussion with some examples, it's another to create an entire site constantly generating bogus stories just to prove a point. I don't find the topic distasteful, I find the exposition irresponsible.
