It's a weird time to be alive.

To avoid fakes, the statements will be accompanied by a QR code linking them to text versions on the ministry’s website.

Great idea, since everyone will check if the URL behind the code is the legit foreign ministry. Nobody would use a URL shortener and redirect everyone to real-ukrainian-website.russian-kgb.gov/agitprop/ukraine-fakes/legit-site.html

I really don't think LLMs are ready for this.

[–] vhstape@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LLMS are not (currently) involved. The article states that video content, trained to imitate the likeness of a celebrity, is generated to recite human-written information. Or so they say

Oh, I swear this better not just be exploited Indian workers again.

Countries don’t normally outsource foreign ministry work, but I suppose you never know.

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's just a matter of time. Technically it's not too different then lobbying.

This is creepy and seems wildly unnecessary.

Ukraine is a test bed for the craziest bullshit Silicon Valley has to offer.

Much like with Vietnam being the American testing ground for counterinsurgency and Palestine as demo space for modern policing techniques, we're using Ukraine to run out all sorts of crazy political and military tech ideas.

AI politicians are Peter Thiel and Mark Andressen's wet dream. And Ukraine is where we're going to see if they work.

So the foreign ministry has a vtuber. Presumably to protect their identity? Fine. Are we going to entertain ragebait about it?

[–] vhstape@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 year ago

There's no way this could go horribly wrong!!

So next they'll use AI-generated infantry?

Robot dogs with flame throwers to burn people alive

Enough with this AI bullshit
