Brace Yourself for Some Second-rate Propaganda Churning Bot

In a truly uninspired attempt to re-invent the idiot wheel, some developer has used common-as-muck AI tools to poop out anti-Russian tweets and articles. Oh boy, a high-school kid playing around with a new software. How groundbreaking! This kindergarten project with the misguided good intent ‘highlights’ yet again, how mind-numbingly easy and cheap it has become to produce mass propaganda.

Shitty Implications of this ‘Groundbreaking’ Tech

If this wasn’t the definition of intelligence degradation, I don’t know what is. This amateur move has just made it embarrassingly clear that anyone who can power up a computer and spell Google correctly can be crowned the ‘Master of Propaganda’. Apparently, our standards have dropped lower than a rattlesnake’s belly in a wagon rut. The forest of misinformation is soon going to get denser and convincing, leaving everyone bamboozled about the truth. It’s like handing a grenade to monkeys; chaos is inevitable, really.

My Hot Take on this Nonsense

There is innovation and then there’s strapping a lawnmower engine to a shopping cart and calling it a car. This is definitely the latter. Just because you generator-fed bots can regurgitate anti-Russian sentiments doesn’t mean you’ve cracked code to master manipulation. It’s like bragging about poaching an egg, when the actual challenge is creating a Beef Wellington. You have essentially weaponized stupidity and that’s not something to be proud of. Can’t wait to see what kind of nonsense this half-baked ‘technological advance’ inspires next.
