The example in this article is particularly funny. Pravda was founded in 1912, predating the internet, and had been Soviet's propaganda machine for its whole existence.

One needs a PhD in mental gymnastics to frame Pravda spreading misinformation as an attempt to specifically groom LLMs.

This article isn't about that newspaper. It's about the "Pravda network", a group of fake news websites, that according to the report linked in the article[1] produced "20,273 articles per 48 hours, or more than 3.6 million articles per year".

Clearly there's no need for "PhD in mental gymnastics".

I stand corrected. My comment above was dumb.

> I am questioning, how is this news?

You couldn't have lies targeting LLMs before LLMs, so this is new.

> What about the other terabyte of text influenced by bias and opinion

That's a different group of issues that doesn't prevent focusing of something else
