Apparently, the addition of AI digests to search engines is damaging news sites (link).
This seems like a massive opportunity.
You may already be familiar with the idea of adversarial attacks fooling AI by subtly manipulating an input such that it is misinterpreted.
I propose the news sites
start producing adversarially generated articles - which create maximally salacious digests while still being accurate when read by a human.
Either searchers will believe the AI report and the people involved will get annoyed at the aggregator, or readers will click through to read the article - win/win.
