DebunkBot

[Gryffin]

Professor at Cornell, Gordon Pennycock, conducted a study where participants chatted with a custom ChatGPT bot, which tried to debunk their conspiracy beliefs. You can read about it at the site https://debunkbot.com.
I heard about it in an interview with the Question Everything podcast. Great interview and interesting results. Long story short, within three messages, a bot can sway a conspiracy believer (using facts) 25% of the time.

Pennycook, not -cock.
We have a thread on a preprint at https://www.metabunk.org/threads/can-ai-chatgpt-etc-help-people-out-of-the-rabbit-hole.13433/
The paper is by Costello, Pennycook, and Rand, and they're also listed at https://debunkbot.com/about .
