Them reposting it definitely constitutes propaganda, but I think it’s important not to just call it AI when it isn’t. And anyways, the best propaganda isn’t blatant falsehoods. Everyone working themselves up into a furor thinking that this is AI just makes us look like a bunch of morons who will believe anything that suits their worldviews. Isn’t that exactly what we supposedly look down on the other side for? Or is it okay to embrace all their values and techniques, until both sides just become mirror images of each other?

Truth is a critically important thing. We must never put truth to the side in favor of merely feeling right. When you put your wishes and feelings over truth, that creates the cracks by which a movement becomes corrupted and deranged.
