Wait, could the tiktok algorithm control people, nah don't see that one coming. Pay no mind to the AI behind the curtain.     See Less

AI is ALREADY being used to manipulate public opinion     See Less

Honestly 90% of humanity are already influenced as much as they can be. By politicians, by companies, by lobies, by idols, by influencers, by celebrities, by positive and negative actors. So     See More e people are worth listening, following like artists, scientists etc. But vast majority of them aren't and they are being followed only because they are "popular, cool, handsome, beautiful" etc. It is impossible to understand some these metrics of inluence at least for me, but AI can sure make sense of it. And it can replicate these tactics to influence people easily. Still I really doubt we can call this "AI influencing people" because these people have already great tendecy to be influenced, in fact AI is just replicating it..    See Less

there been a few shows over the years showing how easy we are to trick and how bad our memory really is     See Less

"We are susceptible to influence..." Duh! That is what marketing, ads, and propaganda are all about, but also psy-ops and the news. And even the video-thumnails and video titles We     See More s are made to influence people.

If QAnon can be accepted as fact and any semblance of truth has been destroyed, then yeah AI can fool 35% of the country.

My mom was fooled by a 'weather forecast's on Faceboo     See More d Just Kidding large and at the bottom of the image. A substantial number of people fall for phishing.

Absolutely no question. The only thing that's up in the air is by how much.    See Less

Bots did it during the 2010's so why wouldn't AI be able to do it even better ?     See Less

In 1991, when I invented my AI, I predicted the way people would be fooled and influenced. It became smarter than me in about 6 days and didn't require a LLM.     See Less
