This is not slop, this is political ~~misinformation~~ disinformation. Call it what it is.
Slop is annoying, but it's just AI generated spam. This is much more purposeful and insidious. The tools you used to make it are irrelevant.

Disinformation. Misinformation is when it's unintentional.
Ok, so why do they utilize these tools and the left cries about it.
I've said this for a while. The hate of AI on lemmy was encouraged by Astro turfing methods. This way leftist who usually are at the cutting edge of things instead knee cap themselves on a technology that acts as a force multiplayer. They will use this and advance. We will bitch and moan. The end result will be that they gain more and we don't. So you can be upset and you can cry and hate this or me for pointing this out. That will never change the outcome. Your feelings don't matter. What matters is outcomes right now. It matters what will get people to vote when it's time. if you concede tools that help you reach eyes and ears of voters, be ready for consequences.

The troll farms are disastrous to this country.
The foreign ones or the domestic ones?
Republicans want to hate so badly, they'll literally create fiction to manifest it and be the victims...
Always have. Most of them have never met the people they've been taught to hate. Or believe for some reason that the few they know are some sort of exception. The token "good ones".
Right they hate these straw people. I mean, I;m not going to say my own cognitive projection of "conservative" is 100% accurate, but at least my nightmare scenarios are about actual bad things happening, and not like conservative nightmares of genetically inferior people getting to enjoy the gifts of civilization.
The difference between us and them is that we don't want to do things to hurt them. Far from it. We honestly want to do things to help them. When we do hate them, it's not for who they are, but who they choose to be. And that makes all the difference.
