ALT RIGHT A.I.?

I am so tired right now having not slept last night, but I wanted to post this as I felt it was important. This is a direct diversion of every search to the Republican agenda presenting in the best most convincing light. Pushing project 2025. So much for a neutral only the facts’ news AI media. Seriously a bot designed to push pro-fundamentalist republican anti-choice regressive view points? Is it deliberate? We people that love our democracy and progressive country better get engaged and vote, or we lose it all. The wealthy owner class wants us to return to the guided age, when only businesses had a say, government had no power, and workers were slaves to be worked to death for profit. Hugs. Scottie

Microsoft’s A.I. bot copilot has been produced some strange results lately that make it seem like it may have been trained by alt right bros.

One thought on “ALT RIGHT A.I.?”

While I make extensive use of AI, particularly Copilot, I am only too well aware of how easily (a) bad actors with an intent to push a particular agenda could profoundly affect the purported neutrality of such systems and (b) bad actors setting up their own AI systems programmed to favour a specific point of view but making it appear neutral.

But it’s not just AI. Algorithms on every social media platform and search engine have been trained to feed you information that you prefer to see based on past activity. They’ve been doing so since their inception, but are getting better over time. It’s a way of ensuring they have a source of revenue to keep operating. That on it’s own is dangerous enough, but the prospect of AI “perfecting” the art of feeding confirmation bias is even more so.

Every new form of communication has its potential dangers, and probably that’s been true since human kind first learnt to draw images on cave walls, if not earlier. But I\m an optimist at heart and I would like to think that newer generations will learn how to minimise potential harm.
