NewsGuard found that generative AI tools like ChatGPT repeated narratives from the Pravda network 33 percent of the time, raising concerns about misinformation. The Pravda network's purpose is debated, with some viewing it as a tool for manipulating AI systems. However, the study's methodology is criticized for being opaque and for using prompts designed to provoke disinformation. As such, the results may not accurately reflect the ability of chatbots to spread misinformation broadly. This illustrates broader issues in the rapid development of technology.
NewsGuard's report found that generative AI tools repeating narratives from the Pravda network added to concerns over misinformation, but the methodology raises questions about the reliability of these findings.
The study's methodology was opaque, with NewsGuard not releasing prompts, and counting cautionary responses towards misinformation inflated their findings.
