论文摘要
错误信息传播给社会带来了技术和社会威胁。随着基于AI的语言模型的发展,自动生成的文本变得难以识别,并且易于在大规模上创建。我们介绍了《谣言磨坊》(The Rumor Mill),这是一部嬉戏的艺术作品,旨在评论谣言的传播和自动产生的错误信息。该工厂是一台桌面交互式机器,它邀请用户通过与工厂上的不同有形控件进行交互来体验创建可信文本的过程。用户操纵可见参数,以调整自动生成的文本谣言的类型和类型。谣言磨坊是对当前技术状态及其产生和操纵自然语言文本的能力的物理证明,以及开始和传播谣言的行为。
Misinformation spread presents a technological and social threat to society. With the advance of AI-based language models, automatically generated texts have become difficult to identify and easy to create at scale. We present "The Rumour Mill", a playful art piece, designed as a commentary on the spread of rumours and automatically-generated misinformation. The mill is a tabletop interactive machine, which invites a user to experience the process of creating believable text by interacting with different tangible controls on the mill. The user manipulates visible parameters to adjust the genre and type of an automatically generated text rumour. The Rumour Mill is a physical demonstration of the state of current technology and its ability to generate and manipulate natural language text, and of the act of starting and spreading rumours.
