An article claiming to identify misinformation in an Oscar-winning documentary about imprisoned Russian dissident Alexei Navalny is itself full of misinformation, thanks to the author using AI. 

Investigative news outlet The Grayzone recently published an article that included AI-generated text as a source for its information. The piece, “Oscar-winning ‘Navalny’ documentary is packed with misinformation” by Lucy Komisar, included hyperlinks to PDFs uploaded to the author’s personal website that appear to be screenshots of conversations she had with ChatSonic, a free generative AI chatbot that advertises itself as a ChatGPT alternative that can “write factual trending content” using Google search results.
