Israel creates fake think tank in likely attempt to dupe AI chatbots
What happened
Israel reportedly set up a sham think‑tank that publishes fabricated research and commentary designed to be picked up by AI chatbots like ChatGPT. By feeding these false sources into the training data, the goal is to shape the AI’s answers in ways that favor Israeli narratives. The operation exploits the fact that many language models automatically trust and cite seemingly authoritative but unverified sources.
