Gary Gensler’s resignation rumor highlights AI’s flaws.
The chair of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, is rumored to have written his resignation letter. According to a news story published on the website “thecryptoalert.com” on July 1, Gensler resigned following an internal investigation. However, it seems that the report about Gary Gensler’s resignation is likely fake and artificial intelligence (AI) may have played a significant role in its creation.
Independent research conducted by Blockchain found that the original article’s text scores 96.8% on the third-party AI-detector ZeroGPT. This indicates that the content likely utilized a high degree of AI-generated text.
In addition, the website itself is relatively new, having published only 17 posts so far, with the first post being published just over a week ago. It’s worth noting that every single post on the website also heavily relies on AI. To put this into perspective, each post on average scores around 70% on ZeroGPT.
