Case in point: a new strain of Russian disinformation that uses AI text-generation algorithms to craft alarmingly convincing news articles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a moment to toast to the age of artificial intelligence, where the cutting-edge tech is used to birth a whole new level of Russian disinformation. Isn&#8217;t it delightful? Now we have clever AI algorithms helping plant news stories that are strikingly believable. Latest in the hall of fame is a piece about the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky purchasing a $46 million Bugatti Veyron. Oh, the horror!<\/p>\n<p>The gem of a news piece came from a highly perplexing &#8216;news agency&#8217;. Just a tip-off, it has been linked to none other than a Russian troll. As if the AI proclaiming doom and gloom about job stealing wasn&#8217;t enough, now it&#8217;s stepping in and sprucing up what might otherwise be a lackluster Monday news piece.<\/p>\n<p>Hats off to our artificial comrade for its creativity \u2013 sprouting an &#8216;interview&#8217; with Zelensky&#8217;s advisor, who (apparently) was appalled at such an extravagant purchase. The brilliance is simply astounding, enough to convince anyone unfamiliar with AI. There\u2019s a magical &#8216;deepfake&#8217; touch to this convoluted tale, giving the whole story an uncanny resemblance to reality.<\/p>\n<p>Academics working in the field of AI and political cyber fraud even lauded this synthetic scoop for its creativity and plausibility. After all, it&#8217;s not every day you see the AI donning a new novelist&#8217;s hat.<\/p>\n<p>In case you needed yet another reason to question everything on the internet, here you go. Turns out, AI is accelerating us into a post-truth world a lot faster than expected. Remember, with every seemingly juicy piece of news, there&#8217;s a chance it may have been spun by an ingenious AI on a disinformation rampage! <\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, this burgeoning AI fiasco in the disinformation realm has some watchdogs taking notice. They&#8217;re on their toes, scrutinizing every outrageous narrative and tirelessly fact-checking. Their advice? Treat every unprecedented news item with a generous dose of skepticism. <\/p>\n<p>Choosing irony over despair, it&#8217;s quite fascinating to see the new tricks up AI&#8217;s sleeve. From producing geopolitical deceptions to crafting convincingly &#8216;real&#8217; news, it makes you wonder- what&#8217;s next in this ever-evolving, chaotic joyride through the frontier of artificial intelligence? And how long before every absurd viral story gets traced back to an AI rabble-rouser? Buckle up, it&#8217;s going to be one helluva ride!<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/ai-generated-russian-disinformation-zelensky-bugatti\/\">Read the original article here: https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/ai-generated-russian-disinformation-zelensky-bugatti\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bizarre twist, AI is joining the disinformation party, creatively crafting &#8216;real&#8217; news.
