Generative AI is creating a dystopia. Not bc it's stealing art or affecting the income of some weird degen furry on deviant art, but because generative is the clear and obvious larvae of a dystopian authoritarian future.
YouTube was once a platform I deeply enjoyed. Now, I can't upload a single video without an AI bot nuking me. It doesn't matter if I obeyed the rules or not. The AI which has been trained off of reddit doesn't care.
Nor does YouTube care enough to pay human admins to review reported videos from smaller channels.
The same is true for every site that uses these generative AI moderation bots. X/Twitter is no different.
These sites don't use the same style of moderation on larger accounts as they fear losing precious income from monetization. However, for smaller accounts it'd be a waste of money to employ human moderation when these accounts don't even make them money.
I don't think this will end at social media. I have a dreadful feeling that this sort of bot will be used as a response to combating mass shootings and other crimes. They will have these bots track reported individuals, and if they display a certain amount of red flags, they'll be deployed to feds and punished. Free speech won't matter. These people will be so insignificant that no one will care or notice when they're gone. The wealthy will avoid such punishment of course. As will women.
This seems to be the ultimate solution. I am very uneasy. I can almost sense a future where this is the case. Even if you live in America, don't be too confident about your "free speech," it could and can easily be contradicted by a new law.
