Chatbot ‘journalists’ found running almost 50 AI-generated content farms

Websites churn out content, often advancing false narratives, to saturate with adverts, says anti-misinformation firm

Chatbots pretending to be journalists have been discovered running almost 50 AI-generated “content farms” so far, according to an investigation by the anti-misinformation outfit NewsGuard.

The websites churn out content relating to politics, health, environment, finance and technology at a “high volume”, the researchers found, to provide rapid turnover of material to saturate with adverts for profit.
