It is very possible that foreign powers use AI to generate social media content in mass for propaganda. If anything, the internet up to 2015 seemed open for discussion and swaying by real people’s opinion (and mockery of the elite classes), while manipulation and manufactured consent became the norm after 2017.

Italian party Lega (in the government coalition) has been using deep fakes for some time now. It's not only ridiculous, it's absolutely offensive to the people they mock - von Der leyen, other Italian politicians... -

Yes. She’s not an elected representative. And she’s been utterly ineffective at threatening Russia with her soft stance (Yes, in war, strong words are weak actions). Her place is back in Hunger Games, starving everybody for the greater good of the elite class.

My answer to this would be, i think: "well, if my mocking Ursula Von Der Leyen destabilizes the EU then maybe the EU shouldn't exist."

right?

No need for AI. Troll farms are well documented and were in action before transformers could string two sentences together.

This is a pre-/post- Snowden & Schrems, which challenged the primary economic model of the internet as a surveillance machine.

All the free money dried up and the happy clapping Barney the Dinosaur Internet was no more!
