• Advance UK paid a secretive AI operation to make its political campaign content
  • The same group created Danny Bones, a white-nationalist rapper whose videos target Muslims. They have been viewed millions of times
  • Experts said this could mark new ground in the use of AI tools for political ends

    Funny how these fake AI “influencers” and “musicians” always seem to come from the right.

    They are so devoid of creativity, and are so incapable making anything worthwhile, that they (try to) have AI do it instead.

    Pathetic

      It’s genuinely shocking when you consider how shitty white boys will try to be a rapper about literally anything. There are multiple guys out there rapping about crypto, NFTs, and $GME. But these fucking losers had to get a computer to spit one out because they can’t even manage to be as appealing as a conspiracy theory about a mythical short squeeze that will reset the entire global financial system.

          Rapping takes more skill than just saying a bunch of words fast over the right beat. A lot of middle/upper class white kids do not realize this and are not in the kind of environment to get real feedback on their rap.

      Creativity that isn’t about pushing or punching down goes against the whole purpose of conservatism.

      Because right is more aware of the truth: General populace doesn’t care if it’s AI or not. All they care about is quality

        It’s not about quality. Most people use content just to fill a void. Look outside at the people around you. Just about everyone is looking at their phones on rides, listening to podcasts when walking. It’s just filler.

        The alt-right took over the social sphere just by taking up space. All the manosphere/trad-life/christo-fascist/slopaganda crap flooded the internet, and then it became the norm—not because it was convincing, but because it was recognizable. People parrot what they hear; And that’s especially true for the majority of unintelligent folks who wish to masquerade as intelligent. It just so happens the masses heard a lot of “women/people of color/queers are destroying our great white Christian society”.

        There’s nothing about this that’s inherent to bigotry or conservative ideology; It’s just that USA conservative-aligned businessfolk bought up the outlets and skewed the scene a little bit in the favor of alt-right ideology. Over years that compounded, and now it’s seized the entire conversation. Perhaps lefties/liberals were hesitant to use those methods because they play to emotions, and not intelligence; But this is the reality of our current social sphere.

          The alt-right took over the social sphere just by taking up space.

          First this is completely untrue. Internet is open for everyone everyone can find media that suit their preferences . Second, for many years a lot of it was actually dominated by left. It’s just that pendulum swings back.

            Algorithms took over searching, flood the algorithm with content and fake views and you dictate what others see.
