Programmer Humor

As bad as AI is. It is still a new technology and it's an arms race right now. Lemmy is influenced heavily by Chinese bots. Lemmy is also small but not small enough to be ignored. It leans left and towards tech users. If you go back to see the early posts for AI, you'll see a ton of astro turfing. Again, AI has issues. But if you follow right wing media you can see the markers of propaganda and astro turfing because the always need to churn new ideas. For example MAID was new in Canada. The right needed to get everybody on board. So early on you could see a big push in regards to content that isn't organic.

It was the same here on the left with AI. The difference here is that it isn't from the right. American right want to embrace this and build data centers. I suspect that China is behind it and wants to create chaff on the left to prevent us from actually building and innovating with AI. At the same time it's also a tool that can rapidly parse text, semantic analysis, opsec and investigations. Which can help create tools to help detect more astroturfing and bots online which powers that be really do not want the left to do. So they really produced so much content to push us all against it. To the point if anyone even smells AI you all instantly swarm. That's manufactured in the same way the right respond to opinions they're given. If you told someone on the right that their opinions on abortion or guns or patriotism is heavily influenced by special interest, what would they say? Would the agree or tell you it's not politics it's common sense

AI bad.
