A recent study by Indiana University researchers reveals a surge in AI-generated spam bots on social media platforms, particularly exploiting OpenAI’s ChatGPT to promote scams and degrade online information quality.
Business Insider reports that researchers at Indiana University have uncovered a disturbing trend — the proliferation of AI-generated spam bots on social media platforms. The study found that over 1,000 such bots were active on Twitter/X. These bots are part of larger networks, commonly referred to as “botnets,” which have been designed to evade current anti-spam measures. According to researchers, bot accounts try to persuade individuals to invest in fraudulent cryptocurrencies and may even pilfer from their current crypto wallets.

While AI has been hailed for its potential to revolutionize various sectors, its darker side is becoming increasingly evident. “New AI tools further lower the cost to generate false but credible content at scale, defeating the already weak moderation defenses of social-media platforms,” said Filippo Menczer, a computer-science professor involved in the study. The bots not only promote fraudulent investments but also contribute to the degradation of the quality of online information.
Regulators are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the rapid advancements in AI technology. Current AI content detectors, such as ZeroGPT and the OpenAI AI Text Classifier, have proven to be unreliable. Wei Xu, a computer science professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, has cautioned that without proper regulation, bad actors will continue to stay ahead of those attempting to stop AI-generated content creation due to the availability of more incentives and lower costs.
Breitbart News previously reported on problems with AI detectors, including baseless accusations against foreign students:
Turnitin ended up labeling more than 90 percent of the paper as AI-generated, so Hahn set up a meeting to question the student about their paper.“This student, immediately, without prior notice that this was an AI concern, they showed me drafts, PDFs with highlighter over them,” Hahn recalled of his meeting with the student.The professor, therefore, was convinced that Turnitin’s AI-catching tool had made a mistake.
The study raises concerns about the future integrity of online information. “The advancement of AI tools will distort the idea of online information permanently,” said Kai-Cheng Yang, a computational social science researcher involved in the study. As AI-generated content becomes more sophisticated, distinguishing between genuine and fake information will become increasingly challenging for the average internet user.Read more at Business Insider here.
MARANATHA!!
God in his mercy through the apostle Paul told us what the world would look like in the last days 2 Timothy 3:1-5,
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
He further goes on to warn us in 2Timothy 3:12-13 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
God always tells the truth and we are seeing the things he told us that we would see in the last days, it’s only going to get worse. True believers will suffer but not in hell separated from God for all eternity. The only way to escape the wrath of God is to repent and put your faith in Jesus the messiah before it’s to late. Today if you hear his voice hardened not your heart 🙏🙌🩸
Amen!!
Glad I’m not on them. Just your site, Geri.
Blessings in Jesus, sweet sis 🙂
My sister-in-Christ, Geri, I quote these few words from your posting…
“Business Insider reports that researchers at Indiana University have uncovered a disturbing trend — the proliferation of AI-generated spam bots on social media platforms.”
To me, they suffice to show, that the FATHER OF LIES is an “investor” in this Artificial Intelligence (AI) foolishness.
WELL SAID!!
