A media outlet published by Harvard University has floated the idea that a website posting AI-generated fake news could be linked to a Chinese psychological operation. The allegation is still only speculation and has not been verified.

The person behind the site, reached by HS Vision, tells a different story. According to that account, the site is owned by a Rwandan YouTuber, shifting attention away from the geopolitical theory raised in the Harvard-linked publication.

The case shows how quickly AI-generated content can trigger suspicions of influence operations and disinformation. It also underlines how difficult it can be to establish who controls a site, even when the discussion is taking place in prominent media.
