gee, how difficult would it be to get the same AI to start creating posts that seem like us, but with slightly different political views?
How difficult would it be for FB to lock a bunch of loudmouths out of their accounts and generate posts on their behalf, steadily shifting to the right over time?

of course, "they would NEVER do that".
Right.
Because all of the things that people said they would never do, they already have done, and continue to do.

In life, grandpa was a racist. In death, grandpa won't stop telling me about Volkswagen and Black Rifle Coffee.
