I tried making fake tweets using GPT-2 two years ago. When I actually interviewed people to verify my model I got good results for people who didn't actively engage with twitter versus people who regularly engaged in twitter (note that this was an N ~ 10 people and it was limited to GPT-2 774M.

I found that people would also refuse the test and would believe whatever the output of the model was due to my choice of subject.

Others that did a similar exercise and tried to verify their results using reddit had a great deal of people who would be able to spot fakes quite easily.

The biggest issue would be someone using a system to deliberately fool a targeted set of people which is easy given how ad networks are run.
