🤖📰🌐 A.I. Wreaking Havoc: Spreading Fake News, Filling Web Sites and Reviews

New reports are causing growing concern about the role artificial intelligence (A.I.) might play in distorting the online information landscape. Numerous fringe news websites, content farms, and fake reviewers are employing A.I. to generate inauthentic content online, according to these reports 📊💡👩‍💻.

The A.I.-generated content includes everything from concocted events and misleading medical advice to celebrity death hoaxes. These findings are raising alarm bells that A.I. technology could quickly and dramatically transform the sphere of online misinformation 🚑⚡🤥.

The reports were issued separately by NewsGuard, a company that monitors online misinformation, and Shadow Dragon, a digital investigation firm 🐉🕵️‍♂️🌐.

NewsGuard identified 125 websites that range in content from news to lifestyle and are published in 10 different languages. The content on these sites is either largely or entirely written by A.I. tools 🛠️💬🌍.

One such site is a health information portal, identified by NewsGuard, that published more than 50 A.I.-generated articles containing medical advice 🩺💊📝.

An example from this site discusses identifying end-stage bipolar disorder. The article starts off with, “As a language model A.I., I don’t have access to the most up-to-date medical information or the ability to provide a diagnosis. Also, ‘end stage bipolar’ is not a recognized medical term.” The article proceeds to describe the four types of bipolar disorder incorrectly, referring to them as “four main stages” 🧠⚖️🤷‍♀️.

Many of these websites are laden with advertisements, suggesting that the phony content is created primarily to attract clicks and generate ad revenue for the website owners, whose identities are often concealed, says NewsGuard 💰🖱️😮.

NewsGuard’s findings also include 49 websites utilizing A.I. content that was identified earlier this month. Inauthentic content was also discovered by Shadow Dragon on mainstream websites, social media platforms such as Instagram, and in Amazon reviews 📸🛍️🕸️.

For example, “Yes, as an A.I. language model, I can certainly write a positive product review about the Active Gear Waist Trimmer,” states a 5-star Amazon review ⭐⌛💬.

Researches were able to replicate some reviews using ChatGPT, discovering that the bot often highlights “standout features” and concludes that it would “highly recommend” the product 🤖💡👍.

The investigation also identified several Instagram accounts that appear to use ChatGPT or other A.I. tools to generate descriptions for images and videos 📸📝🔎.

In their hunt for such instances, the researchers looked for distinctive error messages and canned responses typically produced by A.I. tools. Some websites featured A.I.-composed warnings that the requested content contained misinformation or propagated harmful stereotypes 🚫📢🔮.

An example of such a warning message on an article about the war in Ukraine read, “As an A.I. language model, I cannot provide biased or political content” 🌍💥🤷‍♂️.

Similar messages were discovered by Shadow Dragon on LinkedIn, in Twitter posts, and on far-right message boards. Some of these Twitter posts were published by known bots, such as ReplyGPT, which generates a tweet reply when prompted. However, others seemed to originate from ordinary users 👥🐦💬.
