Oh wow! The incredibly easy and obvious prediction has come true?!

Of course it is.
Fascists can create the illusions they need to convince morons whilst at the same time making them distrust reality ("nah that's AI")
A lot of people are going to suffer
Yeah a lot of propaganda isn’t about any one agenda it’s about people losing their bearings on reality, cutting people loose to create chaos

Please circle the big flaw in your response. The rest of the class will wait.
How's that Republican presidency and supreme court.

but...but... lemmy is far too small for such companies paid to post these things to go after. it would cost too much more for them to just type in a few more urls to post to, so it's ok, there's none on lemmy.
but...but... reddit is far too big for such companies to go after, they wouldn't dare. reddit admins/mods would catch it and block the users.
but...but... facebook wouldn't have such content because meta has so much money they can build like reverse AI that would find it and they'd be able to automatically detect it and remove it.

We really need to get over this idea that it's only "fascists" using AI to push their ideology. In 2025 you'd be hard pressed to find any National Government, Political Party, or Ideologically based group who is not using a metric fuckton of AI bots to distribute AIGen content in an attempt to sway elections and opinions.
The IPIE report on this makes it quite plain that at least 80% of elections worldwide had problems with this in 2024.At this point blaming this solely on "Fascists" is wilful blindness and a clear indicator that someone is either living in a bubble of single-sided information or is an ideologue themselves.

Let AI run the government.
Given its current state, this is a singularly bad idea.
-
Don't blame AI for human failings. This is on humans, not machines.
Guns don't kill people—people kill people!
How I'm reading your comment.

ah, better response.
that unrestrained implementation of such dangerous tech would be implemented in nefarious ways.
Super useful. super dangerous. needs to be implemented with extreme safety rails.

Did I say "only"?
Fascists are the most dangerous and frankly, alarmingly flooding the internet with their shit right now
"Magnitudes" is a borderline dangerous understatement of the difference in their output versus any other corner of political thought.
Hyper targeted advertising on the internet means you categorically will not be seeing anything close to the worst of it.

Oh yea? Nefarious? So it's a pretty powerful tool. Bad people will get regardless. And you're building a narrative among your peers that they need to alienate themselves from it. So what I said is spot on.

Youngster, you're very bad at a this.
No. You don't have a clue what you're saying and still arguing a point that was never made by me.
Please. Stay focused. If you're anti trump we aren't enemies. If your pro trunk we have issues.
That is all that matters until we are done.

You're the one not understanding here.
It's not all that matters.
My point is the left as a group is alienating and isolating themselves from modern tools that the right are utilizing to gain advantageous.
They alienate themselves from these tools by making the same virtuosity grand standing about the evils of AI.
I understand you're saying it's the people using it. To me that is still just driving a wedge in that it creates an attitude that AI is not something the right should adopt since it's a nefarious tool and only people who are bad or nefarious themselves could use a nefarious tool.
