You're the one not understanding here.

It's not all that matters.

My point is the left as a group is alienating and isolating themselves from modern tools that the right are utilizing to gain advantageous.

They alienate themselves from these tools by making the same virtuosity grand standing about the evils of AI.

I understand you're saying it's the people using it. To me that is still just driving a wedge in that it creates an attitude that AI is not something the right should adopt since it's a nefarious tool and only people who are bad or nefarious themselves could use a nefarious tool.

Is your argument that we should use generative AI to mislead people? To make fake videos and images and such to use as "proof"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 49 minutes ago

No my argument is we should make more content and have greater presence digitally instead of allowing the right wing groups like heritage foundation, TPUSA, prageru, project Veritas, ADF, Liberty foundation to capture and engage people while we sit back and complain in the smallest corners online.

I never said anything other than unregulated growth and use would be used for nefarious purposes

Hopefully That's not a controversial stance? But everything else is your projection

Good evening
