Bad actors are increasingly using more advanced methods to generate fake news and fool readers into thinking they are legitimate. AI-based text generators, including OpenAI's GPT-2 model, which try and imitate human writers play a big part in this.

They assume text written by humans is always legitimate and the text generated by bots is always fake.
