Chatbot spam? I tried to generate five ChatGPT essays on the topic and every one had the word "discerning" in the conclusion. Compare:

"The implications of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect are far-reaching. It shapes public opinion and can skew the public's understanding of important issues, leading to misinformed debates and decisions."

and

"The implications of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect are profound, affecting not just individual decision-making but the fabric of public discourse."

Almost certainly generated spam. They only have one post prior to the release of ChatGPT and within 2 weeks of ChatGPT, they are posting three articles of a similar length to this one in a day. It seems extremely suspicious that they began posting consistently after ChatGPT became public.

Yeah my prompt generated the phrase "Combatting the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect requires a concerted effort to foster critical thinking and media literacy" verbatim.
