> By asking ChatGPT about "Russian narratives."

This is so stupid. ChatGPT is inferring the expected response tone from your question. Which means you could get it to argue pretty much anything with guided questions. I got it to admit its going to destroy humanity. Or that there is a likely a covert alien invasion in progress. All that with none of those "pretend you're X" prompts, just back-and-forth banter.

Journalists should really have a mandatory course on what an llm is before being allowed to publish this kind of clickbait.
