So the issue here is it was AI this time?
There have been effort by individuals and coordinated groups doing this kind of thing forever. It’s a reminder that you should not fully form your opinion on comments/posts on social media alone.
The study showed that the AI bots were between 3 and 6 times more persuasive than humans. And the study also mentioned that their bots were not recognized as AI, ever. Not once.
We are now at the point where the side with the most AI wins elections.
Guess which side has the most AI.
For the US: The Democrats, since they have a billion in funding, hundreds of millions more than the Republicans?
This is what happens when you use a war chest to ring the doorbell of every American a second time instead of campaigning on economic populism.
