These false claims are the most recent instance of artificial intelligence (AI) deception on Twitter.
Once again, unfounded speculation has circulated about the sudden departure of former SEC chief Gary Gensler. Artificial intelligence, though, seems to have had a role this time around.
According to an unidentified insider, Gensler “submitted resignation documents during an internal investigation” on July 1 on CryptoAlert.
According to Cointelegraph, however, the text of the article scored 96.8% on independent AI-detector ZeroGPT, suggesting that it is very likely that the great bulk of the material was created by artificial intelligence.
There are just seventeen postings on the website, the earliest of which was published on June 22. All of the articles score about 70% on ZeroGPT, suggesting that most of them make extensive use of AI.
The domain name, “thecryptoalert.com,” was registered on June 24 at 4:47 pm UTC, and the majority of the content seems to have been created automatically.
Despite this, several Twitter users shared the original article. At the time of writing, Whalechart’s article has amassed 1.4 million views, making it the most popular of its kind.
A tweet by Fox Business Network’s Charles Gasparino on July 3 stated that Gary Gensler would not be quitting after all, as the reporter had supposedly heard back from the SEC.
The speculation around Gensler’s potential departure is nothing new. Speculation that Gensler was going to be “fired” on April 20 came from dubious quarters.
On June 12, members of Congress from the United States proposed a new measure to the House of Representatives called the SEC Stabilisation Act. A rule that demands Gensler’s dismissal labels him a “tyrannical Chairman.”
