OpenAI Blog ● Covered by 5 sources
OpenAI removed accounts originating from China that used its AI tools to generate content amplifying US political divisions and to research American political movements and communities.

Removal of the accounts disrupts this coordinated effort to manipulate US political discourse through synthetic content generation.
