     @arstechnica With the right prompt, AI chatbots can further support belief in conspiracy theories, and you may not even be aware such a prompt was given. Especially if it draws on data supporting conspiratorial thinking. Just a quick and lazy prompt, followed by my question. Without the prompt, it would not give this answer.
