Dozens of "news sites" filled with machine-generated content of dubious quality have already cropped up.
Why it matters: #GenerativeAI systems can recycle conspiracy theories + other open-web misinformation.

I'll believe this when I see @Bell actually pulling fibre on my street in one of the named communities.
For $3,227 per house passed, the build-out ought to be GPON to every house at 1Gbps symmetric and no usage caps. Anything less and the government is getting ripped off.
