Propaganda has always been a huge problem, but may be an even bigger issue for AI. China and the Chinese Communist Party spend more money and effort, and engage more of its citizens to spread blatantly false propaganda, than perhaps the rest of the world combined. To such an extent that it felt the need to create its very own global social media platform, TikTok. The Trump administration has even proposed banning TikTok altogether because of the nefarious role the platform plays in both gathering intelligence and spreading propaganda. Some of the lies people are starting to believe about China, that it has no crime, that its infrastructure is some of the most advanced and safest in the world, that there are no homeless people in China, that everyone there has a meaningful and lucrative job, that they are the healthiest and happiest people on the planet, and on and on. When, in fact, the exact opposite is more often than not the case. And for every good lie they tell about themselves, they tell an equally bad one about America and Europe. The problem is, they are so prolific and extreme with this propaganda that the Chinese people themselves believe none of it (about themselves, anyway), and Americans and Europeans (especially young ones) are beginning to believe all of it. With AI having no way to filter this for truth or falsity other than volume, there appears to be a genuine danger of AI itself presenting this propaganda as gospel truth, that China is great and America and Europe are evil. What is Creator’s perspective?

The Director of Department of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, just announced that government records were turned over to the Justice Department for investigation because they describe a White House meeting on Dec. 9, 2016, by then lame-duck President Barack Obama, in which he directed that a revised intelligence estimate be generated alleging Russian hacking of the presidential election to rig it in favor of Donald Trump. She said: “There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Barack Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew that was false.” The records show that prior intelligence estimates had said no evidence was found of any cyberattacks or tampering with voting had occurred by Russia in the 2016 presidential election. If true, this would seem to represent a malicious and cynical perversion of our democracy for political gain from hampering the newly elected Republican president. The Watergate scandal got President Nixon to resign for conspiring with a group of rogue former CIA operatives to bug a telephone at the Democrat campaign headquarters. Here we have President Obama commandeering federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies, including the CIA, DNI, NSA, FBI, and DOJ to spy on and undermine a newly elected Republican administration with investigations now spanning 10 years. If true, this is breathtaking in its scope and daring. Was this more than “politics” but rather an orchestrated series of mind control manipulations to tar everyone involved?
