\n“An AI has been trained on text postings from Parler and fringe web communities to develop characters for a dystopian video game. The AI\u2019s characters are far-right, MAGA-hatted, silly-string slinging girls. It provides a remarkable window into extremism being made goofy and fun.”<\/p>\n
Let’s take a minute to wrap our heads around this – an AI that’s been trained using content from the extreme ends of the webosphere to develop characters for a video game set in a dystopian world. And what wardrobe item does it give these characters? Why, a MAGA hat of course! Because nothing screams “I am a character in a dystopian game” louder than a red hat stitched with a controversial political slogan.<\/p>\n
There’s a little touch of comic genius in it, you’ve got to admit. Let’s not forget the quirky weapon of choice: a can of silly string. Yes, you read it right. It’s a piece of technology with virtually inexhaustible learning abilities imitating the imaginative capacity of a 10-year-old. It’s like they concentrated all the online right-wing extremism into a spring-loaded can of neon goo. <\/p>\n
Through this peculiar blend of satire, technology, and politics, the AI eventually paints a peculiar vision of extremism. What’s even more notable is how it takes all those complex, often jarring elements of extremist discourses and presents them in an almost laughable manner. <\/p>\n
Now, it might seem a bit ridiculous. You’re possibly picturing these characters in your head, thinking how on earth is this a thing? But this scenario provides deeper insight into the application and influence of AI in our digital lives. It emphasizes AI’s potential in shaping the narrative or ideology of media content – in this case, a dystopian video game.<\/p>\n
It’s a reminder. A reminder of how technology can mirror and amplify pre-existing biases and ideologies, making it so darn important to ensure the data used to train the AI is diverse and balanced. <\/p>\n
The takeaway here is that AI can, will, and does reflect us – the good, the bad, the hilarious, the absurd, and, at times, the slightly terrifying. Remember, an AI is only as balanced as the information it ingests. So, political sentiment stored in the tech universe, brace yourselves, because AI has a red hat and can of silly string, and it’s not afraid to use them.
