Current generative AI is now very much better than then, and can be designed to understand text, images and a variety of other media formats.  Training such a system to recognise disinformation and inflammatory content is non-trivial, and it will be expensive for social media companies to run this on all posts.

This is why the discussion should be focused on how to pressure governments to regulate to force social media companies to introduce and maintain such defences.

Social media companies probably need regulations imposed on them to make this work and those regulations will only happen if people make a fuss and lobby for them.
