1. La Escala y la Desesperación Corporativa del Astroturfing con IA.
El archivo revela una percepción generalizada de que el astroturfing en torno a la IA está impulsado por una inversión masiva y el miedo de las empresas tecnológicas a que la "burbuja" de la IA estalle. Se describe como un esfuerzo desesperado para forzar la aceptación pública.
- Companies have massively overinvested in ai, and are trying like hell to push it as hard as they can. Same reason literally all adobe ads are sweaty desperate please use our ai features! nonsense.
- Every puff piece, vox pop, supportive 3rd-party article, every one of them, is paid-for astroturfing by ai tech companies who are terrified at the scale of the public rejection and what that means for their profits.
- Mind-boggling sums of money are being invested in the leading ai companies, and no doubt some of that goes to marketing.
- I am fueled by the extremely sweaty desperate constant stream of ads from you guys over all the ai that you clearly overinvested in. The attempted astroturfing is wild to behold.
2. Métodos y Herramientas de Manipulación (LLMs y Bots).
La IA generativa, especialmente los LLMs (Large Language Models), ha abaratado y escalado la capacidad de crear campañas de astroturfing. Se mencionan servicios específicos de bots impulsados por IA diseñados para manipular plataformas sociales y evadir filtros.
- A new startup, called doublespeed, is being backed by one of biggest venture capital firms in silicon valley, andreessen horowitz a16z. The new venture is pitching an astroturfing ai-powered bot service, which is in clear violation of policies for all major social media platforms.
- It used to be you had to hire a pr firm to do astroturfing but now ai chatbots can do that too. Alas.
- Research to train llms to hack public sentiment is, unfortunately going to be a goal for bad actors internationally. [...] ai astroturfing is already being used.
- The startup, called doublespeed, is pitching an astroturfing ai-powered bot service, which is in clear violation of policies for all major social media platforms. Our deployment layer mimics natural user interaction on physical devices to get our content to appear human to the algorithims sic.
3. Impacto en el Discurso Público y la Autenticidad.
El uso de la IA para el astroturfing se percibe como una amenaza directa a la integridad de la información, la confianza en línea y la capacidad de distinguir entre opiniones humanas genuinas y contenido generado algorítmicamente.
- Deeply disturbing if this approach is allowed to proceed, expect future internet comment forums to be flooded with ai generated astroturfing. Public discourse destroyed.
- We are in an era of vast misinformation and deliberate astroturfing. Ai avatars and spam accounts combined have done massive damage to public discourse, and legacy media kowtowing to regimes cost them trust.
- Ai is becoming not just a plagiarism machine, but its also being weaponized against people and things that powers that be dont like, astroturfing on a scale that would have been unimaginable a few years ago.
- The age of free and dependable wisdom of crowds is on its way out. Lots of astroturfing, paid shills, bots and now ai.
