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
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

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
Atoada so. I fuckin atoadaso.
Idk about this. I think the main issue is social media and filter bubbles. Generative AI contributes, but enough fakes news is there anyways. People will also use real riot videos from 4 years ago and claim that's the LA riots. The Russian troll farms can do this with or without AI. Trump, too. They'll just come up with drinking bleach is good with their own brains.
I don't want to refute this. Generative AI accelerates it immensely and makes it easier and way more. But mind that the core of the problem is society, education and most of all social media.
Also this isn't exactly new, we had Cambridge Analytica since 2014 or something. And manipulating elections and politics by technology is even older than that.
Oh wow! The incredibly easy and obvious prediction has come true?!
Skynet won. This is Judgement day sans nukes (so far).
It is clear. AI is poison and pollution.
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.
I read a scifi book where this was a plot line. I think everyone just distrusted whatever they read online eventually. Time to touch grass?
oh my goodness. who could have seen this coming.
its too bad half the population is borderline mentally retarded and even the majority of the other half think theyre immune to propaganda and too smart to fall for disinformation.
