OpenAI says influence campaigns using OpenAI are not effective
OpenAI just released a report about how its generative AI tools have been used in five “covert influence operations,” which it describes as attempts to “manipulate public opinion or influence political outcomes without revealing the true identity or intentions of the actors behind them.”
For the most part, these foreign actors used the tools to generate content — short articles, social media posts, comments — that they then distributed on other platforms like Telegram or Twitter.
For what it’s worth, OpenAI says these campaigns’ use of OpenAI tools didn’t really help, saying they “do not appear to have meaningfully increased their audience engagement or reach as a result of our services.”
