Anna Rogers from University Copenhagen discusses her ACL 2024 paper that studied fake news-like sites in the wild.
Bad news on the chances to detect these (but I'm having my hopes up for ongoing WebIS research).
Phrases of the day: "Obituary pirates" and "Zombie blogs" (resurrected full of "AI Slop").
