AI-generated disinformation on TikTok

Overview

TikTok is experiencing a rise in AI-generated conspiracy theories and disinformation. Anonymous creators are using ‘faceless accounts’ and various generative AI tools to produce highly convincing videos.

These creators utilize tools like ChatGPT for sensationalist scripts and ElevenLabs for human-like narrations, combining them with dramatic visuals and music. The resulting content often targets sensitive topics, such as historical alternative realities or false statements attributed to living politicians. Additionally, a controversial trend has emerged involving the use of AI to clone the voices of deceased celebrities or crime victims to create deceptive content.
