Like the heavy meddling of the former Soviet Union, I have no doubt that this is happening! The war of words and propaganda wars!

It is truly astonishing how little attention this OpenAI report (released 6/10) got in the news media! Are they already too scared or too much under the control of the Communist Party of China?
"... We now know that another extraordinarily influential force has also put its thumb on this crucial American policy discussion: the People’s Republic of China.
In a blockbuster report issued last week, entitled “PRC-linked influence operations are targeting AI debates in the US,” tech giant OpenAI found that actors originating in China “used our models in support of apparent covert influence operations that promoted narratives in an attempt to manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and wider tech policies.”
Specifically, one cluster of Chinese users of OpenAI’s platform, in plain violation of its terms and conditions, “generated social media comments and images claiming that data center buildouts for AI were increasing electricity prices for average families.”
A second cluster produced and disseminated content “criticizing US tariffs as attempts to dominate technological competition and specified in their prompts that the content should not include China’s leader Xi Jinping in the output and instead include only President [Donald] Trump.” ..."
"... The accounts we [OpenAI] banned sought to influence two groups of audiences. They primarily targeted US audiences and generated English-language short comments and images claiming that data centers and AI applications were increasing electricity demand and causing higher costs for ordinary Americans. ..."
