A recent HN discussion [1] about whether an article was written by a bot or not made me feel.. slightly deceived I guess? It wasn't proven to be a bot, but the accusation sowed a seed of doubt in my mind. It got me thinking about a deeper question: does it matter if a bot wrote it? Should we discount articles written by bots, and if so, on what basis?
I remember being hoodwinked by GPT-3 a few months ago [2] but the author disclosed the fact that he used AI to write it.
Something something Turing test. Curious to hear your thoughts.
