Researchers at the University of Zurich were caught using the AI ​​bot to manipulate the alleged manipulation in the opinion of the Reddit users, expressing displeasure in one of the most popular communities of the site. In its exposure posted over the weekend, the media’s intermediary – subdit R/Changmiview – This is called a function of “psychological manipulation”. This news was very shocking, it attracted the attention of many big-ticut names, including Alone Musk and more.

The community is large and largely popular with more than 3.8 million members at the time of writing. Subreddit largely encourages and encourages debate about various subjects. In other words, people are in this day and day to give their opinion to the people coming. Popularity can be seen from the fact that it often appears on the front page of the Reddit, perhaps that is why researchers chose it for their secret use.

The arbitrations claim that the unspecified research group used artificial intelligence to write comments in response to some positions on subredit. Tonity was individual and inspiring, possibly to mimic humans and then, receive a proper response. The manipulation bit is the place where AI makes so understanding that people agree with some things that are saying that after talking to a friend or colleague, your heart may change.

Researchers have publicly accepted not only to use AI and post reactions, but have also sewed and privatized in a way that seems natural and confident. For this, he used data such as gender, age, ethnicity, location and political ideas, which were scattered by his posting history.

The experiment was in violation of many sub -cums, according to the mediators, which included the use of bots in the subrade to start. In addition, the community needs to use AI to disclose in advance, which was not the case.

Researchers have defended their tasks with arguments that they were trying to understand how AI could be used to impress people, because if something like this was done by bad actors, it can have bad consequences, such as spreading fake news and abusive language. He claimed that he had the approval of his university’s morality committee to conduct the experiment.

Researchers wrote in a comment in response to backlash, “We accept the status of mediators that this study was an unwanted infiltration in your community.” “But we believe that the potential benefits of this research are ahead of the risks.”

Reddit is allegedly considering legal action, but there is no case that they have sent so far, at least no one we know officially. Meanwhile, X (East Twitter), social media of choice for many, is buzzing with reactions to a piece of shocker, even the owner Alon Musk left in disadvantages for words.
