In a YouTube video, a voice in English announces that China has researched and developed its own ultra-thin 1-nanometer chip – a staggering claim given that the chip isn’t expected in commercial devices for another decade.
“Recent news from China has sent ripples of excitement and astonishment across the globe,” gushes the voice-over on the China Charged YouTube channel. “This revolutionary breakthrough is more than a technological marvel; it is a game-changer that will redefine the global tech landscape.”
“Prepare to have your mind blown,” says another video, this time on the channel Unbelievable Projects. “Welcome to today’s video, in which we’ll discover why America remains behind China in infrastructure development.”
These voices and their “good news” about China are evidence that the Chinese Communist Party and its overseas proxies are using artificial intelligence to flood YouTube with propaganda videos, according to a new report that describes a “coordinated inauthentic influence campaign” on the platform.
I’d be surprised if it’s just China
At this point, I assume every major government has the capabilities and the intent to use AI for exactly this purpose.
Oppose at all fronts you can, this is not okay.
It’s not. Youtube is full of AI-generated content. Mostly conspiracy bullshit targeted at republicans and other right wingers. But it’s only now when China does it, it makes it to the headlines.
Culturally there is no real concept of plagiarism or cheating in China. Any shortcut is acceptable, because if you aren’t using it someone else is.
Everyone plagiarises until they become powerful enough to influence others to stop or face sanctions.
Fake it till you make it. Once you make it, call out others plagiarism.
Competition comes with copying some of components. All Android OEMs, including Samsung copy each other.
Give them a break they don’t have a 24 hour cable news channel for propaganda
This made me think of what you can do with AI to poke fun at china, and sadly it seems that microsoft is a bit hard on anti china prompts. But like, life finds a way…
Next week: China develops world’s first 0nm chip!
-12nm
What’s next? They landed on the dark side of the sun? North Korea already did that.
Can someone translate “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” into Chinese please.
"The Boy Who Cried Wolf” into Chinese
Here is what the AI generated image from the bingilator looks like of that… (you know one good turn requires another)
Well, China has to steal their tech from some foreign company, why not lie about it before they do.
Disclaimer: I didnt watch the video but did see the original post in question on Lemmy and was impressed. Now I’ll never believe another pro-China post again. Nice work!
