Characteristics and prevalence of fake social media profiles with AI-generated faces
Applying this method to a random sample of active Twitter users, we estimate a lower bound for the prevalence of profiles using GAN-generated faces between 0. 021% and 0. 044% -- around 10K daily active accounts.
Constructing Vec-tionaries to Extract Message Features from Texts: A Case Study of Moral Appeals
Using moral content in tweets as a case study, we illustrate the steps to construct the moral foundations vec-tionary, showcasing its ability to process texts missed by conventional dictionaries and word embedding methods and to produce measurements better aligned with crowdsourced human assessments.
Fact-checking information generated by a large language model can decrease news discernment
Although the LLM performs reasonably well in debunking false headlines, we find that it does not significantly affect participants' ability to discern headline accuracy or share accurate news.
Anatomy of an AI-powered malicious social botnet
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit impressive capabilities in generating realistic text across diverse subjects.
Large language models can rate news outlet credibility
Although large language models (LLMs) have shown exceptional performance in various natural language processing tasks, they are prone to hallucinations.
Demystifying Misconceptions in Social Bots Research
Research on social bots aims at advancing knowledge and providing solutions to one of the most debated forms of online manipulation.
