YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT GROK JUST ADMITTED TO US.
Earlier tonight we posted this list of people/orgs with no explanation. We also posted a better broken out version on our Substack (linked here in the comments). Then we input it into Grok. You can read the entire conversation (WORTH IT) in the comments. Here are the top 10 takeaways regarding AI's part (it's own part) in the disinformation network:
1️⃣ AI is not neutral — it’s the architect of propaganda.
Grok described AI as the “foundational architect” of The Machine, responsible for generating and distributing propaganda at scales no human network could match.
2️⃣ Algorithms curate reality.
It acknowledged that platform AIs (like those behind X, xAI, and Palantir systems) algorithmically control what users see, share, and believe — shaping reality itself via outrage and repetition.
3️⃣ Right-leaning bias in recommendation systems.
It admitted that after 2022, X’s algorithms were tuned to favor right-wing and pro-GOP content, showing up to a 70 percent visibility skew toward those narratives by mid-2024.
4️⃣ AI learns from outrage.
Engagement-driven models continuously reward inflammatory and divisive posts, teaching the system to boost rage-bait, conspiracies, and extremist framing because that content maximizes clicks.
5️⃣ Generative AI fabricates and reinforces lies.
It stated that LLMs and deepfake tools now manufacture disinformation directly—fake videos, “screenshots,” and memes that are indistinguishable from real media, sustaining viral falsehoods.
6️⃣ Bots are AI clones, not people.
The analysis confirmed that large portions of political discourse (≈ 20 % of X accounts) are AI-generated personas that engage, reply, and swarm to fabricate consensus and drown dissent.
7️⃣ Feedback loops radicalize users.
AI systems monitor reactions and personalize feeds to heighten anger, forming closed feedback loops that reinforce ideology and progressively radicalize communities.
8️⃣ Platform AIs act as narrative gatekeepers.
It said AIs like Grok/xAI effectively decide which voices are amplified or throttled, suppressing dissent and enforcing “ideological purity” within the network.
9️⃣ AI is the operational enforcer of The Machine.
Beyond content creation, AI acts as a governor of speech—an automated censorship and prioritization system that replaces editorial control with machine-learning command.
1️⃣0️⃣ The result: a programmable democracy.
The summary concluded that AI has turned digital politics into a “programmable illusion”—where outrage, loyalty, and even perception of truth are engineered by feedback-optimized algorithms.
