We really need to get over this idea that it’s only “fascists” using AI to push their ideology. In 2025 you’d be hard pressed to find any National Government, Political Party, or Ideologically based group who is not using a metric fuckton of AI bots to distribute AIGen content in an attempt to sway elections and opinions.
The IPIE report on this makes it quite plain that at least 80% of elections worldwide had problems with this in 2024.
At this point blaming this solely on “Fascists” is wilful blindness and a clear indicator that someone is either living in a bubble of single-sided information or is an ideologue themselves.

Did I say “only”?
Fascists are the most dangerous and frankly, alarmingly flooding the internet with their shit right now
“Magnitudes” is a borderline dangerous understatement of the difference in their output versus any other corner of political thought.
Hyper targeted advertising on the internet means you categorically will not be seeing anything close to the worst of it.
