OpenAI disrupted a Russia-linked operation called Bad Grammar that used AI to generate comments in English and Russian on Telegram targeting Ukraine, Moldova, Baltic states, and US politics. The operation generated comments across multiple geopolitical topics to influence discussions on the platform. Removing the accounts limits the operation's ability to conduct coordinated inauthentic behaviour at scale.
