Summary

78% Informative

Large language models, such as ChatGPT, are advanced artificial intelligence systems designed to process and generate human-like text.

Indiana University study found that the impact of AI -generated fact-checking on participants’ judgments and behaviors was mixed and often counterproductive.

The researchers designed a randomized controlled experiment involving 2,159 participants, sampled to reflect the demographics of the United States population.

Participants who chose to view AI -generated fact-checking information were more likely to share both true and false headlines.

This behavior was influenced by participants’ attitudes toward AI , as those with positive views of AI were.

The study relied on a specific version of ChatGPT and a limited set of headlines.
