AI ghostwriting

"Articles are usually composed by human writers rather than automated processes, but they may not be written by a specialist in the subjects reported."

Keep tabs on this statement from the article, for it might change pretty soon. Richienb (talk) 06:18, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ad Revenue

"Google Ads provides 90 percent of the advertisements alongside this content"

It could be worth monitoring if companies paying Google for ad spots take a stance regarding being placed next to misinformation. If the public becomes more informed, being associated with a shady website may not be in their best interest. TheRevenantTwo (talk) 05:57, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "Social Media Content Farms" section, ironically, looks like it's entirely written by AI.

Several different websites show between a 65-95% chance of the text being AI-generated. Terrariola 23:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reading the text it doesn't even seem to have been written to be about social media specifically, it's just describing online content farms in general (a type of website or online platform that generates large volumes of content) but using the phrase "social media content farm" a few times. I've removed it.

The text was added by User:AutorisedUser673 as a new article at Social media content farms, and merged here. The editor has contributed no other original paragraphs of text to Wikipedia. Belbury (talk) 08:37, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Impending rewrite

The banner currently here says that the article needs a rewrite in light of AI-generated content becoming widespread post-GPT3, -DALLE, etc. and I agree with it. With that in mind obviously citations are needed, and I don’t think any one person experiences the internet the same way, so those will likely be important in getting the most neutral viewpoint into the article, as weird as it’ll be. For example there are a lot of people (likely not Wikipedia editors, mind us) that actually do happily consume farm-grown content; they’d likely write it much differently than someone who doesn’t spend much time on the Internet.

I agree that the article needs a rewrite. Could we get any secondary sources regarding known content farms/their practices/their typical content in here? I’m on my way to look up some citations of my own as well. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 16:19, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
