Now a Thing
Wired reports that new tech has emerged to auto-generate tweets, articles and Web sites to counter an opposing viewpoint.
Specifically, a Web site dubbed ‘CounterCloud’ is currently churning-out text and tweets designed to discredit Russian propaganda.
There’s a lot of hand-wringing in the article over the fact that AI is being used to quash an opposing — and many might believe dangerous — Russian ‘perspective.’
But the real takeaway here is that any thinking person tracking AI writing knew long ago that it was only a matter of time before AI would be tasked to duke it out with opposing viewpoints.
More to the point: As an American, I don’t have a problem with automation designed to eviscerate anti-U.S. lies promulgated by a gangster-led political machine that masquerades as a government.
AI Power.
To the people.
