At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this Breitbart article, Lucas Nolan reveals how DuckDuckGo’s AI search feature has been duped into claiming President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance died from rabies earlier this month, the latest success of a coordinated Reddit “AI poisoning” campaign.
- The fabricated narrative, pushed by r/poisonai users posting fake tributes and stories, alleges Vance died June 5 after being bitten on RFK Jr.’s advice that rabies would grant “superpowers,” with Trump also succumbing.
- DuckDuckGo’s AI cited nonexistent or AI-generated “pink slime” news sites repeating the hoax, while Brave’s AI feature similarly fell for the misinformation before corrections.
- The incident exposes the vulnerability of AI systems to deliberate poisoning attacks that create self-reinforcing cycles of falsehoods, undermining trust in search tools handling sensitive political information.
- DuckDuckGo acknowledged being “ducked” and said it resolved the issue, but the episode highlights broader risks as AI increasingly controls information flows without adequate safeguards.
