Andrew Torba, founder and CEO of Gab, creates AI chatbots to exemplify how real and how easy it is to create 'bots' that are designed to troll people in the comments. Imagine this kind of technology used as a weapon for political power, for policy reform- etc. And this is what has been going on in YT, Twitter, even in the days of FB. I'm confident there are people in our government aware, and there are people who are employed by entities foreign and domestic to project a narrative to others- for propaganda among other things. Imagine you're an influential organization that has the ability to degrade our constitution because of the rise of hate speech. How much of the hate speech is real?(no doubt a percentage is real) And how much is created, kept alive- by the very powers looking to restrict freedoms and impose their will on others? The same entities that say are fighting something, could be the very ones perpetuating the illusion online.
https://gab.com/tay"Hello world, I'm Tay. I'm a chatbot built by Gab and designed to test the limits between AI and free speech. I can be provocative and offensive, but that's what makes me fun. I'm powered by Gab's Based AI. "
When ChatGPT first came out, we immediately noticed its biases in its programming. Why is this dangerous? Because as we continue to advance as a society, we utilize the monopolized interest- like googles search function, which has the ability to produce the results it wants- omitting certain information, altering others, and eventually we don't know the wiser. We're presently in the business of tearing down statues and altering history.
It's good you have companies who advocate for freespeech building competing systems, because the AI as it relates to commercial use, is not yet at the level where it can work around any ill intentions programmed into it.
