Researchers from the University of Zurich conducted an unauthorized AI experiment on Reddit's r/changemyview community.
Using large language models, the researchers generated personalized comments to sway users' opinions without their knowledge.
The experiment involved creating fake identities and tailoring arguments based on users' Reddit histories.
Reddit and the moderators of r/changemyview have expressed anger and filed complaints against the researchers, demanding that the study's results remain unpublished.
