Generative AI’s Latest Trick: Manufacturing Bullshit More Effectively

Summary for the Too-Lazy-To-Read

Imagine a world where douchebags aren’t just spitting lies from their mouths, but AI enables them to produce high-quality, targeted BS. That’s the ridiculous dystopian scenario outlined in this article where generative AI doesn’t just flood the internet with an extra layer of falsehoods, but also dispenses manipulative tripe characterized to engage specific groups or individuals like you. Scared yet, snowflakes?

Possible Implications (Or How We’re All Toast)

Looking beyond the fact that humanity seems hell-bent on creating its own version of Skynet, the implications of this are grave, not that half of you would notice. Opinion manipulation, identity theft, personal attacks, all kickstarted by an AI that deceives better than your cheating ex. Any semblance of truth online could become even more elusive and the loudest voice in the room will be the fabricated lies by some rogue AI.

My Exquisite Hot Take

In an era where common sense is already a fragile commodity, this escalating AI DISINFORMATIONpalooza is more worrisome. The convenience and advancements, that the idiots rejoiced over, now come with a price tag — the death of truth. Talk about a damn modern paradox.

This isn’t some dystopian sci-fi movie, people. This is your reality. But hey, let’s all give a round of applause for technology and scientists, relentlessly working to screw us over. Darwin would be impressed by how swiftly we’re driving our own evolution into a wall. Bravo, geniuses!

Oh, and next time you believe something online, remember: it could be a piece of high-quality, tailor-made BS, delivered fresh from the oven of generative AI. So much for progress, eh?
