    A group called Cofacts allows users to forward dubious messages to a chatbot. Human editors check the messages, enter them into a database, and get back to the user with a verdict.

    “This year, because gen AI is just so mailable [sic], they just fine-tuned a language module together that can clarify such disinformation…adding back a context and things like that. So we’re no longer outnumbered,” she said.

    I’d be highly skeptical of how well this would work. A language model is not a truth machine, it’s just a program that tries to write like a human. There are countless examples of ChatGPT and similar programs saying blatantly false things and making up citations out of thin air.



  • Spoof your MAC address, but it will appear as a new device on the wi-fi which could arouse suspicion. Ideally you could spoof a familiar device that’s not currently or often in use (i.e., parents’ or siblings’ old phone or laptop), but of course you would need to acquire the MAC and it wouldn’t work while the actual device is connected.
