Almost 75% of people in a survey found a fake news story credible. The really scary part? An AI wrote it.

Real-sounding but made-up news articles have become much easier to produce thanks to a handful of new tools powered by artificial intelligence—raising concerns about potential misuse of the technology.

What deepfakes did for video—producing clips of famous people appearing to say and do things they never said or did—these tools could do for news, tricking people into thinking the earth is flat, global warming is a hoax or a political candidate committed a crime when he or she didn’t. While false articles are nothing new,...

It is business as usual for certain people and companies. We see every day how eager people are to jump on believing totally biased, even non-existing “news”... and they don’t even apologize when they are proved wrong.. they basically crave incredibly serious allegations.

A lot of what the media produces sounds like it was churned out by the LeftBot5000...

Yeah you are right, I almost fell for this FAKE wsj article. This story about fakenews is FAKENEWS!

AI has gotten so good nowadays it is becoming scary

We are living in a world where everyone is fake. I believe only in what I see with my own eyes. The trust in people is unfortunately broken because of the corrupt media establishment and corrupt politicians.

caro Did one of your writers program the AI?

How can I be sure this article wasn’t computer generated?

stefamichielsen Not surprising since AI beats lawyers 😎

WMM_podcast Prediction: these stories will largely be targeted at people who are vulnerable to and already believe a lot of bs.

interesting. in order to do this to spread propaganda presumably one would just need to train it on a site that already has a specific political agenda.

russian scientists: *high five*

Just like you fake news

Damage control.

1040 degree of damage on you that I will do in a little while before 2020...

So often the Fake News at WSJ is just repeating the echo chamber. Strange how WSJ never gets back to discussing where they were WRONG!

This is scary. USA needs a clever plan to counter future fake news outbreaks, especially from Russia etc. The voters on the Right are extremely susceptible to fake news. Fox News, Breitbart etc. must be punished for ignoring journalistic standards.

This is an example of Fake-News! FakeNews

Just to clear this up, the 'AI' doesn't understand a thing about the produced text. It is basically as simple as sampling from a learned conditional distribution of words. So, it's pretty much random. That people believe it, that's another problem. ArtificialIntelligence

That it not nice to call journalists.

When did you buy the tool?

Man, that fairness doctrine is looking mighty fine about right now.

Norberta36 You're late.

AI trade stocks why not generate fake news after all humans do program devices

I thought the scary part should have been how much ignorance and the lack of interest in learning is the backbone of all this fake news fuss...but nope. Still remain ignorant remains the best deal for everybody.

The really scary part is that some famous senators produce complete wrong stories and directly write lies without any hesitation. This is really scary!!

timurkuran 1/3 of the country doesn’t believe the real stories anyway, and the other 2/3 are pretty discerning, so maybe it won’t matter.

News flash WSJ global warming is a hoax!

Just like human written news.

In all fairness most news has been reported by artificial intelligence for at least 20 years.

Name your source

Great

China is feeding 1.4 billion data to AI every day. They are using Ai to brain wash people and destroying freedom and human right. People around the world should be alert. antichinazi nba blizzard

He is learning from Trump.

Lunar landing. Dinosaurs. Global warming.

Providing false information should be an international crime. FakeNews

How do we know this isnt a fake article written by AI

Unfortunately lots of examples to learn from.

Half of twitter users are Controlled by A.I. (bots)

Did AI write this? How can we trust it? Are you trying to fool 3/4 readers with this headline? Is it forscience ?

Probably still more accurate than the real thing.

FYI - AI is as Bias as the People that programed it!!!

Thanks CNN nytimes washingtonpost

Future gonna be really scary. And it is already here.

This is how terminator started didn't it?
