The campaign, which calls Openai calls peers, saw the group invite Chatgpt to generate sales arguments for a program that these documents suggest were designed to monitor the anti-Chinese feeling on X, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and D ‘ Other platforms. The operation seems to have been particularly interested in identifying calls for demonstrations against human rights violations in China, with the aim of sharing these ideas with the country’s authorities.
"This network was made up of chatgpt accounts which operated in a time model in accordance with the Chinese working hours of the continent, prompted our models in Chinese and used our tools with a volume and a variety in accordance with manual incentive, rather than to automation," Said Openai.
