False & Inaccurate Information on the Web
False information can spread rapidly online, with there being multiple methods out there. Clickbait being the main one. Clickbait refers to misleading headlines and thumbnails on a specific content to entice the viewer to click on it. When misinformation on specific content gains media traction, it usually spreads rapidly due to the lack of review by the people. If one person decides to post some information that is factually incorrect, others may repost it thinking that it is the correct thing without actually fact checking it. Social media doesn’t good a job with helping this, as the algorithm is indented to push out information if the post is on-topic about something trending.
Impact of AI on Misinformation and Disinformation on the Web
AI has been around for a long time, but it is now getting more creative by the day. AI has greatly impacted the community and introduce some highs but a lot of lows. In terms of misinformation and disinformation, AI has become a double edge sword. On one hand, it can supply you with wonderful tools that can help you in problem-solving and can come to you in efficient pace. And on the other hand, depending on what you want it to compute, it can come up with convincing fake content in seconds. Similar to what we call hallucinations and can occur when an AI tool generates responses that are inaccurate or completely fabricated. AI tools don’t “think” they just generate content based off whatever prompt is given and predicts likely responses based on its training data. For example, ChatGPT, generates words from articles and web searches and gives it an outcome based off the prompt, The information it is pulling from can still be wrong.
