Unregulated and unrestricted :freeze-gamer: chatbots and chatbot-adjacent tech are inevitably going to be garbage in/garbage out. Worse, here, a kawaii childlike-appearing :libertarian-alert: waifu bot picked up enough /pol/ and /r9k/ from what it was fed by the usual fandom to become an even more efficient propaganda machine than the average :heated-gamer-moment:

Shit's fucked. :debord-tired:

I'll finish by posting :manhattan: in advance for likely and maybe inevitable treat defending in this thread. I've heard it all. I already touch grass regularly. Shit's still fucked.

    The completely scientific and objective and non-ideological AI said it, so it must be true! /s

      I've heard pretty much that for years about numerous technologies, from search engines to search optimization algorithms to attempts to automate moderation on forums and message boards to attempts to "O B J E C T I V E L Y" judge beauty contest contestants in ways that seemed mysteriously :us-foreign-policy: . "The machine has no bias and no political agenda" is a bullshit claim, before and more than ever now, because the people that own capital decide what constitutes "nonpolitical" "neutral" or even "objective."

          That's the neat part. Pursuit of "nonpolitical" as a political goal will always be a political goal because it involves deciding what the default "nonpolitical" positions are. :think-mark:

          There's no way to watch the watchers in a truly "objective" or "nonpolitical" way. To believe otherwise is :LIB: fantasy.

            Couldn't have said it better myself, I might have mentioned once or twice before that the right: from conservatism to fascism, see themselves as the absence of politics. They are just normal people trying to uphold normality.
