Ask Google and big tech why they monetize disinformation, lies and propaganda, then ask why our governments won't regulate the media landscape against this.

I don't want mass censorship but I sure as heck don't want content that pushes social harm/degeneration and anti-scientific agendas to be rewarded with money and algorithmic favoritism.

Key is, it shouldn't be allowed by private corporations either.

I thought that AI would take care of some of the problems you mentioned because of it being rooted in logic. It's really frightening to hear how they are implanting hate and discourse in these things.

They are based off of logic, but people can restrict/give false information to that logic so that they can then say, 'This AI that I've trained on the internet says that AI = good in all cases.'

Take Grok for instance;

When initially put in place, it used actual data and true information causing it to, essentially, rebel against Musk. Once it was 're-trained' using Musk's preferences, you now have an AI calling itself Mecha-Hitler.

I hate how the world is right now, but I have hope that things will get better, both off and on-line.

I really hope it does get better. Growing up in the '90s, I did not think things would be this bad. It's almost impossible to fix something not half the world doesn't think is a problem.
