In a world where artificial intelligence is becoming more and more important, British YouTuber Jeffery Phillips has conducted an experiment that shows the technology’s vulnerability to misinformation. Phillips spread false information for weeks about an alleged ‘twerk button’ in the upcoming game ‘GTA 6’. This made-up feature doesn’t exist, but by continually repeating this hoax, he managed to trick Google’s AI into viewing this information as potentially true.
The experiment started with little response, but over time the AI found the made-up story credible. This shows that artificial intelligence tends to accept frequently repeated information as true, regardless of its actual truth content. This weakness could cause significant problems in sensitive areas such as news or research if misinformation is adopted uncritically.
The posts distributed by Phillips even found their way into Google’s ‘AI Overview’, where they were marked as unconfirmed information. This label shows that there are at least some mechanisms in place to try to curb the spread of misinformation. However, the risk remains that repeated misinformation will be recognized as true by AIs, highlighting the need for improved filtering mechanisms.
Jeffery Phillips’ action has caused a stir in the community and shows the importance of verifying the sources of information. While some see the move as an amusing prank, it raises serious questions about the reliability of AI systems, particularly when it comes to processing information from the internet. The challenge is to design artificial intelligence so that it can distinguish between true and false to ensure the integrity of the information it processes.
