Recommendation
In the digital age, social media accounts and plagiarized articles can launch media careers or disinformation campaigns. The next frontier is content generated by artificial intelligence (AI), texts that people find difficult to distinguish from the work of old-fashioned propagandists.

She posts a giant red flag: If you thought influencers and propagandists were slippery, they’re about to get a lot more so.
