- Abstract: The rise of social media has amplified the spread of fake news, now further complicated by large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, which ease the generation of highly convincing, error-free misinformation, making it increasingly challenging for the public to discern truth from falsehood. Traditional fake news detection methods relying on linguistic cues also becomes less effective. Moreover, current detectors primarily focus on binary classification and English texts, often overlooking the distinction between machine-generated true vs. fake news and the detection in low-resource languages. To this end, we updated detection schema to include machine-generated news with focus on the Urdu language. We further propose a hierarchical detection strategy to improve the accuracy and robustness. Experiments show its effectiveness across four datasets in various settings.

This study proposes adversarial style augmentation, AdStyle, to train a fake news detector.
Our model's key mechanism is the careful use of LLMs to automatically generate a diverse yet coherent range of style-conversion attack prompts.
Experiments show that our augmentation strategy improves robustness and detection performance when tested on fake news benchmark datasets.

We study the interplay between machine-(paraphrased) real news, machine-generated fake news, human-written fake news, and human-written real news.
Our experiments reveal an interesting pattern that detectors trained exclusively on human-written articles can indeed perform well at detecting machine-generated fake news, but not vice versa.

ChatGPT has gained significant attention due to its exceptional natural language processing capabilities.
We employ four prompt methods to generate fake news samples and prove the high quality of these samples through both self-assessment and human evaluation.
We examine ChatGPT's capacity to identify fake news and propose a reason-aware prompt method to improve its performance.

Training Data Generation [105.20743048379387]
We propose a novel framework for generating training examples informed by the known styles and strategies of human-authored propaganda.
Specifically, we perform self-critical sequence training guided by natural language inference to ensure the validity of the generated articles.
Our experimental results show that fake news detectors trained on PropaNews are better at detecting human-written disinformation by 3.62 - 7.69% F1 score on two public datasets.
