conspiracy theorists, believing some of the most deeply entrenched conspiracies, such as those involving the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study has found. A team, including researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US, designed the AI-model ChatGPT to be highly persuasive and engage participants in tailored dialogues, such that participants' conspiratorial claims were factually rebutted by the chatbot. For this, the researchers leveraged advancements in GPT-4, the large language model powering ChatGPT, that «has access to vast amounts of information and the ability to generate bespoke arguments.» A form of artificial intelligence, a large language model is trained on massive amounts of textual data and can, therefore, respond to users' requests in the natural language. The team found that among over 2,000 self-identified conspiracy believers, conversations with the AI-model ChatGPT lowered the average participant's beliefs by about 20 per cent.

This research, carried out by Thomas Costello at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and colleagues, shows promise for a challenging social problem: belief in conspiracy theories. Some conspiracy theories are relatively harmless, such as believing Finland doesn't exist (which is fine, until you meet a Finn). Other theories, though, reduce trust in public institutions and science.

Moot, 59, had always wanted a beachfront home on the Massachusetts coast but found most properties too expensive. He discovered the three-bedroom home listed at a low price because it sits just 25 feet from an eroding sand cliff. According to projections, the tides could advance 3 feet closer to the house each year. “Life’s too short, and I just said to myself, ‘Let’s just see what happens,’” Moot told Bloomberg. “It’s going to eventually fall into the ocean, and it may or may not be in my lifetime.”
