MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was gracious in defeat after their dreams of an historic second successive treble were dashed by a stubborn Real Madrid on Wednesday in a Champions League quarter-final game the English club had thoroughly dominated.

An American journalist created a completely automated political misinformation website that can publish dozens of false news stories every day for little over a hundred bucks in just two days, especially troublesome during election campaigns. — AFP Relaxnews

Jack Brewster is a journalist, currently working at NewsGuard, a startup that provides tools to counter online misinformation. He recently demonstrated that it's possible to quickly and easily create a fully automated political disinformation website using the latest advances in artificial intelligence. He describes his experience in an article published in the, titled “How I Built an AI-Powered, Self-Running Propaganda Machine for US$105 ”.

With no expertise whatsoever, he put the entire project in the hands of a developer he recruited from a freelancer platform. And he was spoiled for choice:"I searched 'AI generated news website' on the home page and up came dozens of developers offering to build my site. The prices ranged from US$30 to build a basic AI news site to as much as US$350 to 'create the best automated news website monetized with ads ready to earn,' according to one lister.

The successful developer then only had to use a few lines of code and ChatGPT to power the website, dubbed"The Buckeye State Press." In addition to misleading readers , this kind of site could even turn a profit through advertising. With the installation of targeted advertising tools, such as Google ad widgets, a site like this can quickly become a source of revenue.
