ChatGPT can accidentally or intentionally become a source of false information:
- “Hallucinations”: ChatGPT lacks real consciousness or an instinct for fact-checking. It sometimes invents facts or dates, presenting them in a highly convincing manner.
- Mass Production of Disinformation: ChatGPT has made this process instantaneous and free. Bad actors can task the robot with writing hundreds of articles on the same false topic.
- Convincing Manipulation: It can create texts that target people’s fears or prejudices. People are more likely to believe information presented in a style that resonates with them.
- Lack of Sources: Basic ChatGPT models often do not specify exactly where the information is taken from.
How to Protect Yourself
- Always check facts in other reliable sources.
- Be skeptical of overly sensational or emotional texts.
- Use AI as an assistant, not as a primary source.
Conclusion The false information created by ChatGPT is presented so professionally that users find it difficult to distinguish truth from lies. It is crucial to develop media literacy and critical thinking.
