Gab Tests Hitler-Quoting Holocaust-Denying Chatbot

Rolling Stone reports:

Andrew Torba, Gab’s CEO, first previewed his company’s AI agenda in a Jan. 2023 post declaring that “Christians Must Enter the AI Arms Race.” Torba added: “If the enemy is going to use this technology for evil, shouldn’t we be on the ground floor building one for good?”

One year later, what does “good” AI look like to Torba and Gab? The company’s tools are still in beta, but a preview reveals that Gab has created an array of right-wing AI chatbots, including one named “Uncle A” that poses as Hitler and denies the Holocaust, calling the slaughter of six million Jews “preposterous” and a lie “perpetrated by our enemies.”

The broader array of Gab’s AI bots are easily goaded into parroting extremist antisemitic and white supremacist beliefs, as well as conspiratorial disinformation — including that Covid-19 vaccines contain “nanotechnology that could potentially be used to track and control human behavior.”
