China exposed to the world, officials were using ChatGPT as a diary; all secrets revealed

News Topical, Digital Desk : A Chinese official was using ChatGPT as his personal diary. But it turned into a nightmare for him. In fact, the Chinese official saved all his intelligence plans in ChatGPT.

This single mistake exposed his entire intelligence mission. OpenAI revealed in its new report that the officer was running a major campaign to intimidate Chinese opponents abroad.

The Chinese official impersonated a US immigration official, threatened people, created fake court documents, and planned all this in writing on ChatGPT.

OpenAI itself identified and banned this account. It wasn't the CIA or MI6, but the company that created ChatGPT that discovered this conspiracy. The officer used ChatGPT as a running journal, noting every plan and every step. This revealed that this operation wasn't just the work of one or two people, but a much larger operation.

A new style of Chinese repression emerges

The campaign aimed to silence Chinese dissidents living in the US. In one instance, they warned a dissident that their public statements violated US law. In another, they fabricated documents from a US county court to pressure social media platforms to remove the dissident's account.

This work was being carried out by a team of hundreds of people. Thousands of fake online accounts were simultaneously active on multiple social media platforms. Ben Nimmo, Principal Investigator at OpenAI, said, "This is modern Chinese transnational repression. It's not just digital trolling. It's industrialized. There's an effort to attack CCP critics everywhere, in every way."

ChatGPT was just a planning tool

ChatGPT didn't create most of the campaign's content. It only handled planning and record-keeping. The actual posts and material were generated through other systems. The official detailed each step, including who to target, how to apply pressure, and what results were desired.

OpenAI then shut down the account after noticing suspicious activity. The report clearly stated that the user was associated with Chinese law enforcement and was targeting Chinese dissidents overseas.

A fake death plot was also hatched.

One part of the Chinese mission was even more shocking. The officer plotted to fake the death of a Chinese opponent on ChatGPT. He created a fake obituary and even had photographs of the grave made. All of this went viral online.

In 2023, the Voice of America's Chinese service also reported rumors about the death of the same adversary. OpenAI's investigation confirmed the two accounts were a match, proving that these rumors were not real but orchestrated.

This planning by Chinese officials reinforces the fact that the era of traditional cyber warfare is changing. AI itself has become a weapon. The US and China are in a race not just to develop code and language models, but to weaponize artificial intelligence.
