ChatGPT is used to create spam websites and generate advertising revenue.
In recent times, a harmful use of artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, has been observed in the creation of spam websites with the purpose of obtaining advertising benefits through the clicks of unsuspecting users. This worrying trend has been pointed out by experts and highlighted in a report by NewsGuard, an organization that evaluates the reliability of news portals.
According to the report, at least 49 websites have been identified that appear to have been written almost entirely by artificial intelligence software. These sites, which in many cases do not reveal their ownership or control, generate a lot of content in various areas, such as politics, health, entertainment, finance and technology. Some of them publish hundreds of articles a day and many promote false narratives.
These sites are often hidden behind generic names and are plagued by programmatic advertising that is bought and sold automatically. In addition, they often attribute news to generic or fictional authors, and much of their content appears to be summaries or rewrites of stories from legitimate news portals.
While most of these sites do not spread misinformation, some do publish fake news in order to attract readers' attention. For example, mention is made of a website that spread false news about the death of President Joe Biden. However, it is possible to easily identify such sites as they publish content without any monitoring or verification.
