'Pink Slime' propaganda seeps into AI chatbots before midterms

Original: 'Pink Slime' Is Infecting AI Chatbots Ahead of the Midterms

Politico reports that partisan 'pink slime' news operations — networks of low-quality, anonymously funded political websites — are now being picked up and repeated by AI chatbots ahead of the US midterms. Because chatbots often cite or summarise web sources, lean misinformation sites can influence what the bots tell voters. Commenters on Hacker News are weighing in on how large language models amplify such content.

Why now: Concern that AI chatbots are laundering partisan misinformation is acute weeks before the US midterm elections.
