In May, Sputnik International, a state-owned Russian media outlet, posted a series of tweets criticizing US foreign policy and attacking the Biden administration.
CounterCloud responds with similar responses.
Paw says the project shows that widely available generative AI tools make it much easier to create sophisticated information campaigns pushing state-backed propaganda.
Paw did not post the CounterCloud tweets and articles publicly, but provided them to WIRED and also produced a video outlining the project.
Paw claims to be a cybersecurity professional who prefers anonymity because some people may believe the project to be irresponsible.
He does however share the contents of the Countercloud articles and slideshows with other publications.
Over time, this has generated similar responses from other countries’ news outlets.
