TL;DR

OpenAI banned a cluster of Russian-origin ChatGPT accounts used in a covert online influence operation to spread misinformation, uncovered after investigating AI-generated posts across Substack, Telegram, X, Facebook and LinkedIn. The campaign promoted pro-Russia content via a site with copied academic work and a 'sovereignty' index, while disguising Russian origins with VPNs; OpenAI notes the infrastructure could be scaled even if the immediate reach was limited and cites prior action against Rybar.
