There's often a tacit acknowledgment to the poor quality of AI output, but that they do not care, the strategy is to flood the zone with so much garbage as to make it irrelevant. It's a grift-conomy mindset, the focus is on "velocity" and "productivity" to the detriment of all else.
we're living in a gish gallop society - politics, AI, it's all overloading the polity with so many outrageous events they can't react to the last one, much less the outrage 4 days ago... and unfortunately it's working.
I don't know any solutions - damn near anything you do will be labelled insurrection and treason, jfc, they're suing SPLC for supporting white supremacist orgs for paying... informants.
ultra fucking stupid, but sadly effective, because most of america wants to stay out of politics and not confront the difficult shit ahead.
