OpenAI has banned accounts from a covert Iranian influence operation using ChatGPT to generate articles and social media posts related to the US presidential election

OpenAI has banned a string of ChatGPT accounts tied to an Iranian influence campaign that generated and shared content related to the US presidential election, among other topics. The operation mainly used ChatGPT to create longform articles and social media comments for platforms like Instagram and X, according to OpenAI.

OpenAI says that its investigation found the campaign “does not appear to have achieved meaningful audience engagement.” The AI company says most social media posts it tracked down received “few or no likes, shares, or comments.” In May, OpenAI and Meta announced they’d disrupted a social media campaign that used AI to post pro-Israel messages on Instagram and Facebook. With the US presidential election just months away, we may see more attempts to interfere with its outcome.
