"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Surprising nobody, but still good to have concrete numbers. If over a third of all ICE related posts are bots, then the majority of all pro ICE posts are bots. The article doesnt contain the percentages for total pro/anti ICE, but if it were a 50/50 split for pro/anti and we assume anti ICE posts are mostly non bots, then that would mean 66% of all pro ICE posts are bots.
Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but 66% feels like a conservative estimate.
Yes but the issue is that i feel like the total pro/anti split is more like 80/20, but that would mean the pro-bot percentage is even lower than 66 so yeah, either my "80/20" vibe is way off, or the total bot percentage is actually much higher than the article says, or there are actually a lot of non bot nazis.
This may be because some of the bots are using tactics that don't show pro-ICE sentiment.
Some of them just make posts about ICE's victims that appear to debunk something they saw online about how such and such ICE victim did such and such thing and they "defend" that victim, and other people who also want to defend that victim jump on that bandwagon, share those posts, and that propaganda, which sets the narrative and the idea in people's minds which is what they want. It's insidious.
