Reply to comment by nuisanceCreator in Could ChatGPT supercharge false narratives? by Wagamaga

With a bit of critical thinking most manipulative narratives can be seen from 'miles away'. Yet we've seen with COVID deniers, Q-anon manipulations, and certain ex-president sprouting nonsense each and every day that a large group just follow the narrative.

So what's a false narrative: Avoidable harm caused by that narrative. A narrative that's causing fear, uncertainty and doubt. A narrative that attacks a person to win an argument but doesn't provide a solution...

This sounds as if it came straight from ChatGPT.

For example, here's an answer from ChatGPT to the question "Are trans women women?"

> Trans women are individuals who identify as women and live as women. Gender identity is a personal and deeply held sense of one's own gender, and can be different from the sex assigned at birth. People have the right to define their own gender identity and to live in accordance with that identity.

Is that a true narrative?

No it did not. Basically the narrative is decided by its fallacy in its used context. Or its manipulative use.

As your question, there is no definitive answer: it depends on the context.
