Scientists Use AI to Prove People Can Be Talked Out of Conspiracy Theories
From the article:
This chatbot experiment reveals that, contrary to popular belief, many conspiracy thinkers aren't 'too far gone' to reconsider their convictions and change their minds.
You're viewing a single thread.
Another way of looking at it: "AI successfully used to manipulate people's opinions on certain topics." If it can persuade them to stop believing conspiracy theories, AI can also be used to make people believe conspiracy theories.
Anything can be used to make people believe them. That's not new or a challenge.
I'm genuinely surprised that removing such beliefs is feasible at all though.
If they're gullible enough to be suckered into it, they can similarly be suckered out of it - but clearly the effect would not be permanent.
I've always believed the adage that you can't logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into. It protects my peace.
