Scummy countries are flooding us with AI nonsense
| Ben Nimmo, principal investigator for intelligence and investigations at OpenAI, said on a call with reporters that the campaigns did not appear to have “meaningfully” boosted their engagement or reach as a result of using OpenAI’s models.
But, he added, “this is not the time for complacency. History shows that influence operations which spent years failing to get anywhere can suddenly break out if nobody’s looking for them.”
| In the report, OpenAI revealed several well-known state-affiliated disinformation actors had been using its tools. These included a Russian operation, Doppelganger, which was first discovered in 2022 and typically attempts to undermine support for Ukraine, and a Chinese network known as Spamouflage, which pushes Beijing’s interests abroad. Both campaigns used its models to generate text or comment in multiple languages before posting on platforms such as Elon Musk’s X.

We used to have mandatory classes in school where you learned how to identify and handle misinformation. This was more than a few years ago so the focus was less about internet shitposting and more on consumer habits and commercials but also on how politicans lie.
When we got a government shift they immediality scrapped it without explenation. No suprise there, the winning party was the rich-people party who owns all the big corpos.

| The San Francisco-based maker of the ChatGPT chatbot said in a report on Thursday that covert influence operations linked to Russia, China, Iran and Israel had used its AI models to generate text and images at a high volume, with fewer language errors than previously, as well as to generate comments or replies to their own posts.
