Meta adding #AI assistant for WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. (so, expect that in Threads too). Just what we need, an AI marketing more stuff to us... #AIpocalpypse https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/27/23891128/meta-ai-assistant-characters-whatsapp-instagram-connect
@ai6yr i'm worried more about AI comments
we have disinfo campaigns by huna troll farms on social media as it is for political agendas
imagine it as an automated process by hundreds of relentless, well-spoken bots
literally mechanized cult indoctrination
A good reason to make sure more people understand how to recognise and counter mis information and find accurate evidence based information
@info_activism have good work shop resources for this.
@ai6yr @accretionist @info_activism
Good point I just hope more people wake up to this, we really do need regulation, but that won't stop it either.
@zleap @accretionist @info_activism The hard part, is AI is SO GOOD at BS and sounding very official (and inventing statements which back that BS). A lot of the recognition of misinformation doesn't work when you're talking about a highly optimized machine that can spit out VERY authoritative (in fact, more believable) text than trusted sources.
