Massive Blue is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protesters.”

    professional catfishing has always been a thing.

    using AI to do it was inevitable, but i do wonder if it’ll backfire.

    chatbots are so pathetically unreliable.

      Political protests are incredibly important to me because they give people a way to express their dissatisfaction and push for change. When I see others out in the streets, organizing and demanding attention to issues that matter, it reminds me of the power we have as individuals to challenge the status quo. Protests help raise awareness about injustices that might otherwise go unnoticed, and they can be a catalyst for real, meaningful change. For me, they represent a critical way to hold governments and institutions accountable and ensure that our voices aren’t drowned out. They remind me that political participation is not just a right, but a responsibility to help shape the society we want to live in.

      /s in case it wasn’t obvious

        So… You think protests don’t work?

          No the (attempted) joke was using an obviously AI-written text hyping up protests, but it didn’t really work.

            I hate how few people got it. I thought it was obvious, funny, and topical.
