    What don’t you believe about it?

    Generate content. Nobody can know everything but if someone posts about whatever their latest conspiracy is, do you spend an hour trying to debunk it? Maybe move on and ignore? This is the bullshit asymmetry principal. They flood spaces with bullshit so that the left says fuck this and leaves. The issue with this is if anyone reads a repeated message over and over they will come to believe it. This is how advertising works. As long as you’re not diametrically opposed, it’ll become something you see as fact. So one way AI can be used is to make the bullshit less asymmetrical.

    Just today I had to look up about CAF banning “god” in the military. I can quickly search how factual this is and find direct sources for what AI says. Under 5 minutes I can have a pretty good argument based on facts with sources. AI closes the bullshit asymmetry problem and returns digital platforms to the left instead of conceding these public spaces to the right
