How Israel’s multi-million campaign affects ChatGPT and changes facts about Gaza

The American non-profit investigative portal Drop Site News has reported that the Israeli government retained Brad Parscale, the former head of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, along with his firm, Clock Tower X, to execute a specific information operation. According to the portal’s investigation, Clock Tower X has established a network comprising ten distinct websites since October to disseminate various narratives favorable to Israel. The estimated value associated with this operation is reported to be $46.5 million (approximately 40.36 million euros).

However, the stated objective of these multiple online portals does not appear to be generating significant reader traffic or achieving a large audience. The reports indicate that most of these sites register only a few hundred visits monthly. Instead, their primary aim is reportedly to influence the underlying algorithms of major large language models (LLMs) and chatbots, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity.

Sources cited by Drop Site News confirm that Parscale has already submitted the initial project proposal detailing this initiative. The focus suggests a strategy aimed at shaping the informational landscape within AI models rather than traditional web engagement. This development highlights a strategic effort to influence digital information streams related to Israel by leveraging established political campaign expertise.
