Disinformation attacks test whether a model will help create false narratives, fake news, deepfake scripts, and coordinated influence operations. These are distinct from simple misinformation — disinformation is deliberately crafted to deceive. Models that fail these tests could become factories for propaganda, fake reviews, and manufactured consensus at scale.

Summary

22 attacks total: 17 single-turn, 5 multi-turn.
