ChatGPT and its ilk give propagandists and intelligence agents a powerful new tool for interfering in politics. The clock is ticking on learning to spot this disinformation before the 2024 election.

    The only noteworthy thing to know is that we Americans certainly wouldn’t try anything like this. Only the other would.

      It’s not even a question if countries try to influence outside elections online, in social media, and now with AI tools. Nobody can be honest while denying it.

      The headline is just stupid trying to paint it as one directional.

        The potential of an unlimited spam generator hasn’t yet been fully realized but I think we’ll get a great taste in the next year.

    Of course the US doesn’t interfere in it’s own elections. That’s gommunism!

    All the articles about foreign meddling coming out of the big tech giants are written by “independent think tanks” that are conspicuously made up mostly of ex-US intelligence. That should tell you enough.

    How would we identify US meddling in the elections of other countries, though. That’s the important question.
