Researchers used AI bots to influence opinions on Reddit sub r/changemyview. The bots were 3-6 times more effective at changing views than humans (twitter.com)

Couple takeaways for me:

  1. The bots downloaded user post histories to tailor-fit their responses, which is probably the most significant factor in their effectiveness

  2. The actual posts made by the bots are obviously AI slop.

It seems that native marketing and influence operations may become entirely bot-driven. Sadly, layoffs are incoming in Tel Aviv and Eglin.

Also lol at the moderators crying about it. You turkeys are about to be shot with 100x the volume of unsanctioned influence operations, and there's nothing you can do about it. You're retarded.

That's pretty interesting. Tailor-made responses is such a simple tactic I feel stupid for not ever thinking of that myself.

Then boy do I have a screenplay for you:

Awkward male highschooler has a crush on the hottest girl in his year and wants to ask her to prom but is too scared and weebish. He discovers the power of AI and scrubs all her social media posts then gets ChatGPT (called BratGPT in the movie because we can't afford the licensing and we want to appeal to a young female audience) to compose an ask-out request in the form of a musical score. He gets cold feet because remember he's weebish and also his parents voted for Kamala so he has pussy genes, so BratGPT develops a consciousness and asks the girl out instead. BratGPT fucks the girl, Tony and Imp get in a catfight and ruin each other's dresses, and the guy gets contact leprosy and dies. The end.

I looked at everyone's post history to tailor make this for everyone.
