For real, how do I get in on some of this slop? I can hold my breath until I get brain damage and make AI slop as good as the next idiot. How do I get paid to do that?

I just saw some erection slop in a Brazil video for Bolsonaro, they changed some dancing dude into a scantily clad dancing chick in a miniskirt, on a stage so you can see under her virtual skirt.

The porn websites that constantly hawk ai in their ads if one doesn’t have a content blocker are not very convincing at all, they still look fake. But this brasillian one didn’t that I could tell.

The frightening part is that the slop doesn’t have to fool informed voters. It just has to reach people who don’t follow politics closely, long before a fact check ever catches up. One polished fake clip can become their entire impression of a candidate. Apparently political advertising has discovered the perfect product: certainty without facts.

Any lie told often enough is believed. Thank the Nazis for their insight.

If we ever manage to get the country back, we need to immediately ban AI-created political advertisements, and put teeth into the law.

Just make it simpler; liability for not fact checking information and ban structurally important media from being for profit. Get too big? Congrats, you’ve been nationalized to serve public rather than private interest.

Can we just ban political advertisement in general? Im tired boss. Im so tired.

I’ve been tracking deep fakes and AI in politics for a few years now, just waiting for the moment when they’d start using them to manipulate voters, and we’ve finally arrived. And as I predicted, it was MAGA who dove in head first. Truth has never been one of their virtues.
