2023 年底，新闻可信度评级机构 NewsGuard 发布了一项数据，显示在 2023 年 5 月到 12 月这个时间段，由人工智能驱动的假新闻网站增长了 1000%，数 量从 49 个激增到 600 多个。 而到 2024 年 6 月，这个数字已经变成 1265 个。NewsGuard 将其称为"一个可悲的里程碑"。因为根据测算，人工智能驱动的假新闻网站，数量正式超过了 美国本土的报纸网站数量（1213 家）。 这确实是新闻业的可悲现状。传统的、值得信赖的、机构化的本地新闻来源正在大批次地湮灭，2005 年到 2022 年期间，美国约有 2500 家当地报纸倒 闭，取而代之的却是大量的 AI 假新闻网站。这些网站正成为许多不明真相者的信息来源，并进一步流传到社交网络中，变成流行甚广的虚假社交货币。 AI 假新闻正在泛滥，这样的趋势同样在国内发生。今年年初，西藏日喀则定日县发生 6.8 级地震，多张"小男孩被埋图"在网络疯传，引发广泛关注。后经 公安机关核查，这些图片均由一位青海网友使用 AI 工具生成，并上传网络，引发谣言扩散。 新闻截图 不久前"顶流男星豪赌 10 亿"也是相当典型的案例。根据公安部的通 ...
