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.

TIMES OF INDIA is a prime example
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.
Look at a Russian news on DW and its completely full at the top of Russian posts and likes
I want the right to opt out of AI content.
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….🎉
Humans will start having trust issues henceforth.
Oh! Imagine that! They’re ALL RIGHT-WING and MISINFORMATIVE!
This needs to be more heavily regulated than any industry ever created.
Fraud is today's dominant business model.
The trash web
You dont' know who the guy at 0:57 is? Watch Al Pacino Scent of a Woman 1992, it's the Ferrari salesman.
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.
The biggest victims of AI-generated content are South Korean actors. And the general public easily trusts the writings of these websites.
Google is trash
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.
well science are full of non reproducible "science". without God, there is only the flimsy mores of man
"Best screenplay award goes to A.I." Well at least it knows irony and has a sense of humor. 😆
Surely it's in Google's interest to demonetise all low quality AI sites?
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).
"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.
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.
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.
You know you can fight this issue by getting your news from news media with a history and a long-built reputation, right?
Still waiting for you 🤡people to come get the Statue of Liberty.
What’s the problem, you cannot find America on the map.
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.
I’ve seen that. Every time I update my iPhone I have to turn off AI & Siri which is just crazy & constant annoyance
Just curious. What happened to Catalina Marchant de Abreu ?
Ai is making it so we cant believe anything anymore, and the very rich and powerful can then do whatever they want without scrutiny.
Here we go…
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
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
And the award goes tooo…ME !!! 👏👏👏😳
Beaudrillard has never been more accurate
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.
Google is just "Clipping the Ticket" too. Good on you guys for highlighting this.
Bravo, France24. Thank you for your research and reporting. I'm saving this, and forwarding to as many people as I can.
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.
Hey Google, don't be evil!
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!
DW is wicked news created by Jimmy Saville followers.
.
What do you mean "thousands"?
The WWW consists of over 50% AI-generated content since 2023.
