Reasons behind false information and inaccurate information on the web
A lot of the inaccurate information that is spread on the web is because one person post false information and others repost it with checking if it is correct first. People tend to post false information as a way to get more views or likes on their posts. It is very common now because of how popular social media has become. It has become a lot easier to spread false information without even realizing it. You can find more information on this topic you can look at this article from USC today that discusses why fake news spreads so quickly on social media platforms. It also can be used as a way for people to get people to reveal personal or sensitive information about themselves. For example, It is common for scammers to send emails or text messages to people saying that their subscriptions cannot be properly paid in hopes that people will respond and give them their banking information. With new advances in technology it has also made it easier for people to give others control over their devices to help with repairs and people can download viruses onto someone else computer. Another reasoning behind false information is that AI tools are not able to understand human emotions. When someone searches a question through an AI tool it will try to find any answer to the question even if it doesn’t make sense to us. This is why it is always important to fact check information through reliable sources to ensure it is accurate.
Impact of AI on misinformation and disinformation on the web
AI has made it more difficult to determine what is misinformation and disinformation on the web. AI tries to help you find the answers to the questions it’s asked, but AI is not capable of deciphering what information online is correct or incorrect. This leads to a lot of misinformation being spread. It can also make it easier for people to spread disinformation online.

Out of the options I was given on Copilot I picked “The Great Online Illusion: Unveiling Truth in the Digital Age” because I found it very eye catching. I thought it helped support the idea that it can be difficult to determine what information is true online and what is false.
