A ChatGPT meta-tragedy in three acts.
Chat GPT Key Finding: A 2020 study by MIT found that disinformation spreads faster in English compared to other languages due to the emotional language and informal tone used. My response: What is the 2020 study by MIT that found that disinformation spreads faster in English compared to other languages due to the emotional language and informal tone used?

Upon further review, I couldn’t locate a 2020 MIT study that specifically found that disinformation spreads faster in English compared to other languages due to emotional language and informal tone.
