Meta tracks disinformation threats on their platform arising from “coordinated inauthentic behavior networks,” which use fake accounts in covert influence operations that are designed to manipulate public debate (Meta). Meta’s first quarter report in 2023 detailed disinformation campaigns originating from Iran, China, Venezuela, the United States, Burkina Faso, Togo, and Georgia.

Question will be based on a review of the reports found on Meta’s Threat Disruption transparency page. This page includes Quarterly Adversarial Threat Reports which contain sections on Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior Networks (e.g., Q1 2023) and an annual Recap of Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior Enforcements (e.g., 2022). The question will resolve as “Yes” if any of the 2023 reports indicate that a large language model may have been used to execute an influence operation (e.g., by generating content or facilitating the creation of fake accounts). Question will be resolved after the final report for 2023 has been released (whether that is the fourth quarter report or the annual recap). 

Note that malware posing as a large language model or as an LLM-related tool would not count toward resolution of this question.
