New technologies can do harm to society as well as good. For this reason, it is becoming more and more urgent for the society to raise awareness of artificial intelligence literacy. Because fake information produced by artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT can quickly spread through social media. A study conducted by the anti- misinformation organization Newsguard identified 50 “news sites” that publish artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content on topics such as politics, health, environment, finance and technology.Bombardment of fake content
One of these sites, Celebritiesdeaths.com, claimed last month that US President Biden “died peacefully in his sleep” and that Vice President Kamala Harris is now Vice President. There are completely untrue news such as “The founder of the dumplings empire is dead” on the site. In the news, it was stated that the 96-year-old man had built a worldwide dumpling empire, but his name was not even given. What makes it even more interesting is that the article was published on February 26, and the aforementioned founder was reported to have died on March 26.
The researchers state that these websites produce a “high volume” of content related to politics, health, the environment, finance, and technology and quickly monetize the process through inbound traffic by flooding the sites with ads. Meanwhile, the detected sites broadcast in seven languages: English, Chinese, Czech, French, Portuguese, Tagalog and Thai.Looks like they’re fake for now
Although the common point of the sites is artificial intelligence writing, they seem to have achieved different levels of success. For example, ScoopEarth.com has reached 124,000 followers on Facebook thanks to their famous biographies. At least for now, it can be understood by a little watchful eye that the news produced by artificial intelligence is fake.But advances in this technology are blurring reality even more. Images produced by artificial intelligence (for example, the image of the Pope in a white puffer coat) can spread on social media in an instant and can convince large masses of him. The risks posed by the news version of this are at a much higher level. The worst part is that there is no mechanism to prevent them.
