AKA the perfect propaganda tool to fuck up elections and make countries collapse into civil war and fascism. Like ours.

Chatgpt would be a terrible propaganda tool. Also why do you need a better one? The existing ones work pretty well. Fox/Sky News and the internet troll army out of Russia.

Propaganda isn’t new. Sure it’s more widely available now but it’s not new

And that totally justifies having a robot that does it so efficiently it allows people to deepfake shit that's hard to invalidate, robbing people of their ability to discern what is reality and what is not

Again not new stop grandstanding it as a new effect. Media outlets have been doing this since the dawn of journalism. Scientific process created to combat it, political standards to help reduce it fand laws to make it financially unattractive act remains its not new.

The only thing that is new. The financial gain from the hype of abusing the word AI and thr media not calling it out. But hey here we are back at the start. Its not new.

And that totally makes it okay for you to use an LLM to do so far more effectively and far more efficiently, destroying humanity's ability to discern reality

The fact you think people need an LLM to create garbage is just weird. They can do it without it just fine. Better get some tinfoil, I hear putting it on your head stops the Artifical word predictor from copying your thoughts.

Yes because the kinds of people who would fall for a deep fake would never have fallen for propaganda before.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nope, not deepfakes that convincing.

Keep lying to yourself though. Keep convincing yourself it's worthwhile to destroy the world you claim to love just so you can keep your shiny new toy. Keep trying to tell yourself it's not going to harm everyone else around you and that you're still a good person.

Right all those people eating fucking horse dewormer were perfectly rational before.

Oh noes AI is going to destroy us all.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because only the right wing understands the true danger of AI.

Not new and certainly very much not new to politics. Are you new?
