AI-powered systems could generate large-scale disinformation campaigns

On the one hand, GPT-3 demonstrated the ability to generate accurate and, compared to tweets from real Twitter users, more easily comprehensible information. However, the researchers also discovered that the AI language model had an unsettling knack for producing highly persuasive disinformation. In a concerning twist, participants were unable to reliably differentiate between tweets created by GPT-3 and those written by real Twitter users. "Our study reveals the power of AI to both inform and mislead, raising critical questions about the future of information ecosystems," says Federico Germani.
