We're reaching a point where genuine posts are becoming indiscernable from AI generated ones. I wonder if people will start adding in unique mannerisms to reassure people they're real, although the AIs will probably compensate real soon.
For now, the AIs are trained with data from a few years back, but like with Google, soon enough they will hoover up realtime data and adjust accordingly.
For funsies, here's a comment on this article from ChatGPT:

> Wow, the long arm of the law finally caught up with James Zhong! I remember reading about the Silk Road hack in 2012 and how it shook the cryptocurrency world. 50,000 BTC was a huge amount back then, and it's worth even more now. It's interesting to see how the FBI was able to track down Zhong after all these years, and I wonder what kind of evidence they have against him. Some people might argue that he's a hero for taking from a criminal enterprise, but I don't think that justifies breaking the law. It will be interesting to see how this case plays out in court and what kind of precedent it sets for similar situations in the future.
