Artificial intelligence chatbots are changing political persuaders – but at the cost of truth! New studies (Science & Nature) reveal that GPT-4 bots use the Gish gallop – a flood of 25+ claims in 10 minutes to overwhelm them and change their minds. 10X more effective than TV ads, but accuracy drops 78% to 62%. It supports disinformation, radicalization. Inexpensive ($50,000) custom bots could target voters via WhatsApp/text. A dangerous shift in online politics!
