This was always the endgame. Control the public by making AI shift public opinion. The crowd will follow the crowd even if that crowd is actually AI.

It’s why there’s always that one “guy”saying that similar thing in response to each post. People were reactive on reddit in predictable ways and AI learned at Reddit’s knee. The mimicry may even feel authentic because of the old Reddit experience.

It's all gibberish too.

I had a coworker send me an AI email, it mentioned something the coworker should have seen and been able to figure it out. When I replied explaining what she should have done, she claimed to be ignorant of like half of what her email said and claimed there was no way for her to find the info she had already provided in her email.

She just flat out had no idea what she had emailed, hadn't read my response either.

She just shoved it into her chatbot, and her chatbot forgot everything it had already said so it generated new claims.

It's bad enough trying to explain things to idiots, now I have to explain to a shitty chatbot so it agrees with me cuz coworkers just trust AI. Especially since there's a chance the person using the chatbot, keeps asking it till they get it to say what they want.

It's just spinning wheels

I dislike AI for all the reasons but the staff member would be getting chewed the fuck out if her excuse was she didnt know what she was doing.
