Fake US thinktank funded by Israel sought to prime chatbots for pro-Israel propaganda
New from me today - lobbyists employed by Israel have published voluminous material under the banner of a non-existent thinktank in an apparent attempt to game the information people get from AI chatbots www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
Jason Wilson21Since I filed this story the same cvompany, Piro Inc, has launched a new site along similar lines called IsraelFact israelfact.com

John Smith1wow, dang, hard to believe anyone would do such a thing, gosh
lizajae.bsky.social76I changed my mind about what I would do if I won the lottery. I would just set up "thinktanks" that republish vaccine studies and news articles from when they were new and revolutionary, so everyone who doesn't think for themselves gets good answers anyway. We can expand to climate change is real.
AusPoast21Move over, cash for comment. In 2026 it’s slop for slaughter. ‘Between 6 and 14 August the Hanover Institute published 124 reports totaling more than 560,000 words, an average of about 4,500 words each.’
Antifascist Militant3This is one of my huge issues with using AI for any type of research or search. You are surrendering your ability to think to an algorithm that can be manipulated

Fake US thinktank set up and funded by Israel sought to game AI for propaganda
allysmith.bsky.social18Not even surprised, there’s been a constant propaganda battle being waged by Israel worldwide since 1948. A constant propaganda battle over colonization of Palestine since 1890s. Israel is built on misinformation (and genocide)
CarbonArk11Looking forward to genocide apologists claiming this is both normal for governments to do and that pointing it out is antisemitic.

dave48.bsky.social5No 1 will be surprised that Israel is influencing chat bots or chat bots are easy to game into regurgitating bullshit.
Andy Dug4Wake up. Israel is evil.
nortonk.bsky.social3Actual news will be kept out of sight, as AI scans the internet for your news stories, and pulls up the propaganda as real. That’s how they rig your mind, your vote, your future. Any news org still posting the truth will be shut down.
Ant84Israel created a fake academic resource using AI generated articles and studies to be used by Zionists to convince others there is no genocide. Absolutely transparent bullshit.
Naadir9It's the kind of interference that every sensible politician agrees with. The world's first good genocide must forever expand.
Margot Finn9Worried about not only Gaza but also democracy? We should be. AI regulation: wickedly difficult, very wickedly needed.
Bard Of The Revolution6This is why you should never use AI. It is a corrupted as our governments
