The Amazing Effect! Research Finds Chatting with ChatGPT Can Reduce Belief in Conspiracy Theories
Recently, a new study has shown that engaging in less than 10 minutes of conversation with a chatbot can effectively reduce people's beliefs in certain deeply held conspiracy theories, such as rumors surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was led by a team from MIT, where the researchers specifically designed a highly persuasive AI model—ChatGPT—to individually refute the conspiracy claims of participants through personalized dialogue. In this experiment, the researchers recruited over 2,000 individuals who self-identified as conspiracy believers.
