Use of AI as fake news as a potential subtopic?[edit]
I've noticed that the article lacks most mention of any sort of use of AI used to create fake news. The article itself occasionally mentions using AI to counter it, but not to using AI to create fake news, other than briefly when talking about fake news in Mexico. Should a subtopic be made dedicated to AI creating fake news, or should it be placed in a different section? DroopyB (talk) 14:16, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any sources discussing this as a wide issue? Slatersteven (talk) 14:17, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What's considered a "wide issue"? I have sources on AI misinformation and AI being used as fake news, but none of them directly call the issue a "wide" issue. DroopyB (talk) 14:35, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What I mean is, does this violate [p[wplundue]], what major RS has taken notice of this as an issue? Slatersteven (talk) 14:40, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What does it mean to "violate [p[wplundue]]"? Stevesuny (talk) 18:12, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Typo, its meant to be a link to wp:undue or "demonstrate this is anything more than a narrow or finge view that is highly relevant to the topic". Slatersteven (talk) 18:15, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I made an account just to say this page needs work[edit]
Hello Wikipedia, normally your pages are easy to read. This one is very long and has no table of contents or way to easily navigate it. Sorry I can't help. HeretoCriticize (talk) 21:54, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The History section is missing the Cold War entirely...[edit]
Any ideas what should be added?--Jack Upland (talk) 23:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've been working on the German Service of the BBC for a while and got the impression that the BBC was broadcasting much more reliable news segments than really anyone else. By my impression, Radio propaganda seems to have been a major facet of the Cold War and the truthfulness of the various broadcasts seems to have varied by a lot.
But maybe general propaganda is outside the scope of this article. I don't really know. JackTheSecond (talk) 11:59, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would say it is, its why we have a whole article on it. Slatersteven (talk) 12:02, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's more the amount of additional information that covering the Cold War as well that'd be a problem, probably. Though, because of how the definition at the top does include 'propaganda', maybe we can add a section and include a link to the relevant articles.

... and then what? Did anything come of it? What's the point of mentioning it? WP:NOTNEWS. 2601:642:4600:D3B0:56C:3F16:53EF:5265 (talk) 00:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The quoted section is not in the article. Neither are similar statements. JackTheSecond (talk) 12:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
