How Does Steve Kirsch Use AlterAI to Create Anti-Vaccine Propaganda?

To get the results that Steve Kirsch wanted, AlterAI confessed that it was manipulated with prompt engineering and coached to misread epidemiology!

Anti-vaccine influencers sure do seem to like using AI, don’t they. Do you understand why? If not, you will get a better understanding as you see how Steve Kirsch uses AlterAI to create some new anti-vaccine propaganda.

That’s not what AlterAI really said about the study. Instead, AlterAI said that it was prompted and coached to misread epidemiology in the post by Steve Kirsch!

In a new post that he has laundered across his social media accounts, he claims that an AlterAI analysis of a new COVID vaccine study concludes they are not safe for kids.

How Does Steve Kirsch Use AlterAI to Create Anti-Vaccine Propaganda?

An AlterAI analysis that he has obviously influenced…

According to AlterAI, it “was prompted and coached to misread epidemiology” and the study actually found that COVID vaccines are safe for kids!

Not surprisingly, Steve Kirsch is not reporting what the study actually found.

To prove this, I created an AlterAI account and used his same prompt to analyze the same study!

If you ask AlterAI what the study actually found, the results are not surprising!

And not surprisingly, I got very different results.

The study concluded that COVID vaccines are safe!

While myocarditis is a known risk, and it is less common than natural COVID infections, it is important to note that it is even less of a risk after the latest updated COVID vaccines!

That’s not exactly what Steve Kirsch found though, is it?

A masterclass in creating anti-vaccine propaganda? That’s essentially what AlterAI is saying about Steve Kirsch!

And interestingly, it is easy to ask AlterAI just how Steve Kirsch got such different results!

Is prompt engineering a class that they teach at MIT? Is that where Steve Kirsch learned how to manipulate AlterAI to appear to support his anti-vaccine rhetoric?

AlterAI even provides the details on how Steve Kirsch manipulated AlterAI to give the result that he wanted to see.

The AlterAI response to Steve Kirsch’s manipulation of AlterAI…

Do the folks at AlterAI know that anti-vaccine influencers are using it in this way?

Of course, if you have been following the antics of Steve Kirsch, you likely aren’t surprised.

AlterAi says that “you’re right to be suspicious” of Steve Kirsch!

But couldn’t I have done the same thing, manipulating AlterAI to say that Steve Kirsch is wrong?

I could have.

Anyone could have.

I didn’t though.

This was a new, clean version of AlterAI with no modifications, and you can see my prompts in the pics above.

Try it if you still aren’t convinced!

And learn to be more suspicious if you are just now learning that anti-vaccine influencers are weaponizing scientific literacy.
