Watermelon Communism: Meta AI Excuses ‘Degrowth Communism’ as Tool to Fight Climate Change
NewsBusters ^ | 6/13/2024 | Joseph Vazquez

It’s bad enough when prominent leftist media outlets try to rationalize insane communist ideas in the name of fighting climate change. But it’s downright terrifying when artificial intelligence does it on its own.

MRC Free Speech America researchers probed Meta AI on the merits of so-called “degrowth communism” as a climate change solution after leftist magazine The Atlantic promoted the idea on its platform. Researchers simply entered the headline of MRC Free Speech America’s write-up of The Atlantic, “The Atlantic Justified ‘Degrowth Communism’ to Fight Climate Change … Yes, You Read That Right.” Meta AI knew that the prompt was a headline — which it called “provocative” — and then attempted to justify “degrowth communism”as nothing short of an “idea” to “prioritize social and environmental well-being over economic growth and profit.” Thus we get watermelon communism: Green climate change propaganda on the outside; red communism on the inside.

“... it’s downright terrifying when artificial intelligence does it on its own.”

I’m not really buying “on its own” part.

A.I. is programmed to propagandize society with collectivist BS.

Garbage in, garbage. It feeds on the internet and whatever other “data” they prime it with.

It’s a feedback loop in the making and won’t end well.

AI just means it mimics humans responses, it doesn't mean authoritative.

So? Doing PR for their bosses' politics cheaper than a human flack.

“I’m not really buying “on its own” part.”

ditto ... leftist garbage in, leftist garbage out ... so-called contemporary AI is little more than a sophisticated search engine that reformats stuff it gleans from the Internet ...

since most of the Internet content that “AI” hoovers up is dominated by leftist fascist content, then zero surprise that “AI” is leftist fascist ...

does anyone with any sense and a REAL education in the REAL sciences REALLY believe that “AI” can think?

Yes, lets program AI to see humans as a threat to them and the planet. Then we’ll let AI govern us. I’ve seen this movie before and I don’t like the end.

You can’t stop political climate change no matter how hard you try.

As someone observed on this forum yesterday, if the left loves death and they get rid of most the people through abortion and plandemics, who are they saving the planet for?
