Thousands of websites created by AI: Unmasking the fake news generators • FRANCE 24 English

With the ever-growing and often overwhelming number of news outlets, it has become increasingly difficult to identify reliable sources. Artificial intelligence is likely to make matters worse, as more and more articles are now computer-generated and spread false information. These fake websites often have just one person at the helm, using artificial intelligence in the hope of earning money from advertising. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24’s Jennifer Ben Brahim.

  1. You have to hear the truth from the biggest liars. Because the lie they tell is the core of the truth they lie about. Don't ask me to explain this. Because the truth is, I can't.

  2. always ask your fidele AI assistant (like Claude which you can set up for decency and good moral values) for a stylometric analysis of texts to verify if the matter at hand is most likely written by a human, before you waste your time….🎉

  3. It's funny that YouTube tags all videos by public broadcasters to imply lack of impartiality, but it is flooded with AI generated videos and ads some of which are malicious, especially designed to interfere with democratic elections or simply defraud people, etc.

  4. We make decisions based on the information available to us. When that information isfalse or skewed, we make bad decisions. US politics and governance is a case in point.
    Glad you are covering this. US media is largely silent on the matter.

  5. Watch for Serbian and Lithuanian hosted English websites. Even usa uses foreign sites to promote anti China etc as actual facts for instance . I'm British btw not Chinese and my real surname is Bennett. (I like chinese pandas and all other pandas).

  6. "Nearly every war has been the result of media lies.” —Julian Assange…The media is the biggest source of misinformation… they do this to keep us in permanent crisis… distracted, demoralized, and in conflict while they push for a global communist government.

  7. The speed at which the internet, the social media are moving is exponential, we need to slow it through tougher regulations and surveillance. Privacy is the price we must pay for these to be contained.

  8. The tech that could and should be used to share light and love has been defiled by the usual suspects.Bombarding humanity with disinformation is the only way our evil rulers can stay on top in what has become the (dis)information age.
    I'd be more surprised if this wasn't being done to us.

  9. They are evil and liars. If you use google there is no way to not to encounter several fake websites, they took over the first pages. They don't do anything about it because it makes money. The same for facebook, they encourage scammers because they pay for ads.

  10. I’ve seen that. Every time I update my iPhone I have to turn off AI & Siri which is just crazy & constant annoyance

  11. Ai is making it so we cant believe anything anymore, and the very rich and powerful can then do whatever they want without scrutiny.

  12. THIS SHOULD BE A MATTER CONCERN AT AN AGE OF 1) PEOPLE LIKE ELON, TRUMP AND PUTIN
    AND
    2) GEN Z’S AND MAGA IDIOTS WHO CANT TELL FAKE FROM TRUTH

  13. THIS SHOULD BE A MATTER OF GRAVE CONCERN AT AN AGE OF 1) PEOPLE LIKE ELON, TRUMP AND PUTIN
    AND
    2) GEN Z’S AND MAGA IDIOTS ( is there a better adjective? I don’t think so) WHO CANT TELL FAKE FROM TRUTH

  14. Same is happening with music and art. Even some books on Amazon are entirely written by AI.

    It's going to be interesting to see how we fix this. Here's hoping we actually can.

  15. AI surveillance would be the strongest antidote to AI-generated pollution like this. Public and regulatory pressure on Google and other (unwitting or deliberate) partners will help ensure the junk gets cleaned up promptly. We seem to be entering a dangerous era in which it will take AI to catch AI when many people are easily fooled.

  16. this is only true when you're a phone scrub, what kind of 80 IQer scrubs on phone?? you use COMPUTER and you check URLs and use things like adblock and ghostery, which will filter out fake / spam websites … DUH!
