AI-generated videos promoting Poland’s exit from the European Union have appeared on Polish-language social media, featuring non-existent, attractive young women advocating for “Polexit”.
One TikTok account called “Prawilne Polki” published content showing women dressed in T-shirts bearing Polish flags and patriotic symbols, European analytics collective Res Futura said. The content targeted audiences aged 15 to 25.
The videos featured statements including: “I want Polexit because I want freedom of choice, even if it will be more expensive. I don’t remember Poland before the European Union, but I feel it was more Polish then.”
Also what do we do as counter measure? Generate videos to promote EU and then throw that out there? How do we deal with that?
Work on reducing the frustrations of the target demographic of this propaganda. For example, the housing crisis. Or the rich getting richer while stealing the future of the young.
The problem is a lot of these things take many many years to make better.
A lot of actions were taking here years ago and were starting to see rents come down, but it isn’t a fast thing.
Then with people having the memory of a goldfish, the people trying to at least partially fix things don’t get the outcome fast enough because it’s slow, and the right wing fascists come in and say see, it didn’t work, and tear it all down. Then due to the delay in everything the previous governments actions start to show some benefit and the fascists say, see we did it, until things turn to shit and the people wanting to fix things take over again.
And the cycle never fucking ends.
Spend billions of dollars on public education, with a focus on critical analysis, starting 50 years ago.
Failing that, I don’t know, get rid of the ultra wealthy?
I don’t know how I feel about ai slop that promotes good ideas. That sounds like a deal with the devil. But if there is going to be slop, I’d rather it be promoting stuff like “workers together are stronger”
It’s bad.
I agree in a better world education should prevent most people from disinformation but with ai in the mix analysing info to detect fakes gets harder and harder. Trying to combat disinformation by explaining things takes too long. By the time we explained one thing 100 new fake news get published. Since I don’t have a solution my only thought was copying ai slop but with facts and fire it back into the internet. Make it scream from every side. Eventually social media is just ai slop.
Another possibly viable solution would be to focus our energy on creating tools that detects llm slop with certainty and embed them everywhere.
Throwing more generated llm trash into the air will only increase confusion and will backfire / have unexpected results.
Platforms like Xitter and Facebook et el should be eliminated and dismantled. We should take back the internet and free it once again
Kill Billionaires.
You don’t fight fire with fire. Disinformation can only be fought with exposure and transparency. Is it “the dream” to be in the EU? No. But it damn well has its benefits. And neither Russia, nor USA have any interest for a strong, independent Europe.
A campaign that fights the bulshit being spread around, with actual facts and sources - that, unfortunately, is boring. So, maybe, real OF models need to volunteer to deliver facts while wearing skimpy clothing? I don’t know. “Paid for” messages can and will come across as insincere.
Straight up porn, and when everyone arrives they start yelling about how awesome the EU is.
What about fighting back with porn of these same AI propagandists saying I’m fake, but I’m a patriotic Pole and I’ll fuck you!
Porn, and gets across they aren’t real.
