Holy automated pro-genocide propaganda, Batman!

Google automated propaganda

There's a way easier and better way to make folks stop hating you.

Imagine the US deploying AI bots to deal with "anti-US hate". Wild.

I guess that was kinda the cold war though.

DARPA, and the national science foundation provide grants to AI backed social graph disinformation eradiction efforts.

Same thing, different paint job.

Sarcasm, but only just. I hope nobody's dumb enough in the US government to say we need to make propaganda online, but they might forget to use the politically correct smoke screen combat disinformation online.

anyways, I wanted to say that I'm not a proponent of the content of this article, but I think it is important that people see it

That's a lot of words to describe what the CCP has been doing for years.

Right, that's why it's familiar

At this point where they say this that openly I think I'll stop all the efforts at arguing online unless the opponent is quite clearly not a bot.

Lem's "Bomba megabitowa" comes true in everything.

I like Lem and one may find some solutions in his approaches. But I also liked the Web like 20-15 years ago, it was nice.

Covering APIs, AI-driven translators and other tools based on their proprietary large language model, it is already collaborating with some of the best-known experts in the field, including at AI21 Labs, Google, and Microsoft.

Imagine AI being able to instantly check whether a post violates the terms of service (TOS) of the specific platform where it’s made.

Imagine the ability to report said post on the spot.

And if it doesn’t violate the TOS, to instantly generate the best counterargument?

Kind of a weird apocalyptic way to kick humans off the internet:

When online opinions no longer matter because, he who has the strongest computer, will have the best AI. Which will also have the best public opinion(s).

At that point, only places where people can confirm you are a real human will matter.
