What’s the difference between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and fake news-peddling bloggers?  AI uses facts and documented evidence as basis for content it generates. Some bloggers generate content based on  biased narratives, hearsay or twisted information.

We asked AI to name some bloggers known for spreading disinformation. Here’s the answer we got:

“Several Filipino bloggers and social media personalities have been accused of spreading disinformation, particularly during election seasons and political controversies. These individuals often have strong political leanings, either supporting or opposing key figures like Rodrigo Duterte and Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

Prominent Bloggers Accused of Spreading Disinformation:

Pro-Duterte / Pro-Marcos Bloggers

1. Mocha Uson – Former Duterte administration official and social media influencer, frequently accused of sharing misleading political content.

2. Sass Rogando Sasot – A political commentator known for her pro-Duterte and pro-Marcos stance, sometimes accused of spreading biased narratives.

3. RJ Nieto (Thinking Pinoy) – A blogger who has been flagged for promoting false or misleading claims in favor of Duterte and Marcos.

4. Mark Lopez – A social media commentator accused of pushing divisive content, often critical of opposition figures.

Anti-Duterte / Anti-Marcos Bloggers

1. Jover Laurio (Pinoy Ako Blog) – A vocal critic of Duterte and Marcos, accused by opponents of publishing exaggerated or misleading claims.

2. Maharlika – A social media personality known for attacking Duterte and Marcos supporters, sometimes accused of spreading disinformation.”

Of course, there are many others, some gaining notoriety in recent months. Let’s give AI some time to catch up!
