Foreign propagandists continue using ChatGPT in influence campaigns

ChatGPT is being used to generate content in foreign influence campaigns across China, Russia, and Iran.

OpenAI said it has recently disrupted four Chinese covert influence operations that were using its tool to generate social media posts and replies on platforms including TikTok, Facebook, Reddit and X. ChatGPT was used to create social media posts that both supported and decried different hot button issues to stir up misleading political discourse. That same year, OpenAI said it disrupted an Iranian operation that was using ChatGPT to create longform political articles about US elections that were then posted on fake news sites posing as both conservative and progressive outlets.
