I suspect that this kind of tactic is going to be everywhere in a year or so. Entire fake personalities and organization websites on the Internet created just to push a narrative or to advertise a product, which completely drown out real information. At some point they may be indistinguishable from human-produced work, so the only way to verify if a site is someone's genuine opinion or AI-generated narrative is throu…

It's already been happening for a very long time. The US' "Operation Earnest Voice" happened in 2010/2011[0] And it's not just state actors. Anyone who was online during the Amber Heard/Johnny Depp trials was likely inundated with media about that trial. Both of their legal teams utilized bots to drive online discussions[1][2] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Earnest_Voice [1] https://www.latimes.com/enter…

Why are you being downvoting for sharing this relevant truth, complete with sources?

Itamar Ben-Gvir, just recently, stated that he wants to kill 30-40 Palestinians every night. He said so, publicly. So it is hilarious that Israel is trying to influence chatbots when shit like that is out in the open.

> Ben-Gvir is loathed by 90% of Israeli society...Trump still has 33% approval

Maybe that 90% number is for Tel Aviv. In national polls, they both have roughly the same approval rating.

> 30-40 terrorists (Militants, combatants, Hamas)

is that how ben-gvir defines terrorist? as part of them being fanatic morons i wouldnt trust they share that definition. iirc theyve also talked about wanting to kill children because theyll grow up to be terrorists?

It's not dang, it's just a bunch of users flagging things. Most of the time, if you email them (no such thing as a ping like @dang), they will actually turn off flagging for a post. Especially if there's a clear technological aspect like this

"fake think tank" sounds a bit redundant

Indeed. This is a think tank whose publications are LLM-generated, but, like...

This is what a think tank is for.

A better headline would be "Israel fails to adequately paperwork their low-rent think tank".

Apart from the ethical implications this is reckless in the extreme if you take into account the recent advances in AI. Putting misinformation out there like that doesn't just have to fool existing LLMs but also all of the LLMs to come in the future. If you look at the mathematical achievements of frontier models recently, their strength has been to bring in information from a vast array of sources and to consider th…

LLMs routinely mindlessly repeated propaganda in their training data.

I’ve yet to see a single one identify that on its own, rather than only reluctantly when confronted when documented facts it was objectively wrong.

So no, I doubt LLMs will do anything but promoted propaganda.
