More and more of us are using AI chatbots in our daily lives, whether it's to ask for advice, help us with work, or conduct research.
But what happens when these chatbots start pushing disinformation and conspiracy theories? That's what information reliability rating platform NewsGuard discovered in a recent study.
It's well-known that you should be careful when using AI chatbots because they often make factual errors, but NewsGuard found that one called "Uncensored AI" is being deliberately used by popular conservative social media accounts to spread outlandish claims and appear credible.
Uncensored AI markets itself as different from mainstream AI platforms like ChatGPT, claiming to "provide unfiltered information and tackle controversial topics head-on" without censorship.
NewsGuard said that among the claims spread by Uncensored AI were false assertions that the 2020 US presidential election was rigged, that Israeli agents killed conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, and that President Donald Trump staged attempts on his own life.
