#AbuDhabiStablecoin Researchers from the University of Zurich have been accused of conducting an unauthorized four-month experiment on a Reddit forum using comments generated by artificial intelligence to test whether AI could alter people's opinions.
The moderators of the subreddit r/changemyview explained in a post published on April 26 that, as part of the experiment, AI-generated accounts pretended to be a crime victim, a person opposed to certain social movements, and a trauma advisor specializing in abuse.
"Our subreddit is a decidedly human space that fundamentally rejects undisclosed AI as a core value," the moderators said. "People do not come here to discuss their views with AI or to be experimented on by it."
