AI in Political Science & Social Psychology

This is Big Brother! we need to find a counter measure quickly.

That's a higly necessary critique. That's exactly how bourgeois media works to make profit over our guided behavior.

Information, mindfulness and intent discernment is the only defense for the individual. As society is controlled for the purpose of those using AI for their intent, whether political, economical, etc., it becomes even more important. Someone needs to train a model to teach mindfulness.

Looked at the paper. A bit confusing on how the experiment was constructed.

[@code4AI]

Your statement here is unprofessional. If you have a feed-back to the authors of the study and to the AI community, and you specify that you were confused, how does it help us to learn? Be specific, address individual points you would have done different, and explain why.

Hmm, I feel like opinion prediction is a recipe for disastrous tail effects as culture shifts.

[@code4AI]

If we, the people, know, what technology is currently developed to "help" us find the "right opinion", as by global corporations or local politicians, we can understand the patterns behind their communication. An informed society is an essential building block of democracy. Culture shifts continuously, only question is, in the direction that we, as citizens, want? And do we have an opinion?

[@Smytjf11]

@@code4AI Well I have an opinion at any rate. So I moved to a little farming community. It's so small, but that means one man can still make a difference here. I guess I'm still trying to influence society the old fashioned way with boots on the ground 🤷‍♂️

I suspect MIT did all the work. And Harvard wrote the paper with so much pompous jargon like “media diet dataset”.

[@code4AI]

This is just an emotional statement and what you suspect. How should it help the community to learn? Do you have any facts about what you claim?

[@henkhbit5748]

Interesting article, but i think the categories influence graph will differ from country to country. The us opinion Will differ from other eu countries… and for some of the conclusions u dont need AI but its Nice to be confirmed by ai analyses.
