AI Chatbots used to create dozens of news content farms


NEW YORK: The news rating group NewsGuard has found dozens of news websites generated by AI chatbots proliferating online, according to a report, raising questions about how the technology may supercharge established fraud techniques.

The 49 websites, which were independently reviewed by Bloomberg, run the gamut. Some are dressed up as breaking news sites with generic-sounding names like News Live 79 and the Daily Business Post, while others share lifestyle tips, and celebrity news or publish sponsored content.
