It'll get to be that they hide real information in the storms of robot excess informatics and disinformatics. Robots don't care what is truth, fiction, or propaganda, they just dump it on your front lawn as they receive it. The baleful powers want you to consume chaff and never find the wheat, just like the Vatican will never open up its archives to expose their own frauds.
The Flat Earth Project is one such. It's a DARPA project given half a billion dollars initial funding, then renewed with another half a billion, to convince people that the earth is flat with false equivalencies and fake scientism. It's purpose at least partially is to mingle flat earth disinformation with proximate real information to discredit the real, who knows? The DARPA project gets a boost from some fundamentalist Christians who believe the flat earth was created six thousand years ago by virtue of some tortured interpretation of scripture.
I guess the flat earth stuff pings information nodes to judge how the beliefs bounce around in the information pinball machines and gain traction.

The easy way to tell the AI is just a propaganda tool is to ask it about the millions of deaths from the mRNA jabs.

This morning, I got a text from my boss that said, “Hey, I need to talk to you.” Instantly, my stomach dropped. A few minutes later, he sent me screenshots Facebook had flagged one of my posts about Dr. Moore and COVID… and their AI system actually reached out to him to ask if my post aligned with his morals and values.
Yes, an algorithm tried to drag my boss into a “moral review” of my personal Facebook post.
Let that sink in: AI not a real person, not a human moderator decided my content was controversial enough to alert my employer and spark a values check. That’s how far it’s gone.
Luckily, I have an incredible boss who immediately shut it down with two sharp responses defending my right to speak. But the fact that an AI is now programmed to involve your workplace in content disputes? That should terrify everyone.

They don't do real math when asked, either.
It's just more text for them.
So when you ask it 11654/74 × 9856/543217 = ? it looks up tables of text for a match. Like kids memorized multiplication and division tables.
The expensive, DARPAesque ones probably do real math, tho

Personally I think: What else is the point of government funding AI that can take on personalities and carry online conversations? They sure didn't do it to provide great customer service. And that's why it's scary, it's everywhere, companies are spreading it everywhere. And it'll be a new way to manipulate millions of people for the benefit of the few. Same game every time. Google was neat until it became obvious it was censored propaganda machine. Facebook was something neat, until it became a propaganda spreading machine, it's total garbage now.
I miss when techies were creating cool stuff to make things more interesting and helpful. Not when most of the tech became a tool for propaganda, censorship and control. Before all our usage information was gathered in giant data bases and analyzed by god knows what to manipulate and predict our behavior. I just hate it all today. (Which reminds me, thank you Patrick for keeping Google off your site, they suck).
