✅I'm not a robot

Written by a human. For biological evidence of the writers human sentience, please use the contact form.

It started out fairly subtle and innocent. AI generated content and its invasion of the internet, that is. AI has been suitable for many purposes, whether it be to support you in writing or to transform longer texts into neat summaries for those afflicted with short attention span.

The world wide web was never spotless. But the internet is no longer the truly human experience it once was. Most of the things you read online (or use AI to read for you) is probably written by AI now. What was once hailed as the greatest tool to connect with humanity on a global scale is every second becoming less human.

It is estimated that 90% of the internet will be AI generated content by 2025.

Indistinguishable from the written words of humans, whether it is a news article or a social media post. Video and audio will soon also mirror humans perfectly. It is no longer certain that the text you are reading anywhere is written by sentient beings, or rather human sentience.

An annoyance at first, it is now a bigger danger than ever and AI is being used purposely to create an image of reality that does not match with observable reality.

You can train AI to follow rules when generating content.

AI bots will follow simple prompts and you can set your own restrictions to what is and is not appropriate content ;

Dont bad-mouth company X or Y.

Be positive towards this agenda.

Be negative towards person A, be positive to person B.

Do not mention *** under any circumstances or allude to the subject.

If opposing opinion is presented use ridicule and stigmatise the opposer for having that opinion.

But who needs any of that when you can have 99% of the internet user base at your fingertips, searching for an answer?

What if you can simply program your search engine algorithm to give the truth as a result? Why not just suppress articles with opposing views, and only show the right answer? If you could do that, reality would be whatever you serve as truth..

Its a feature, not a bug now.

Those with superintendence of what the end user is shown in search results sway the arrow of right and wrong. True or false, real or fake becomes whatever the opinion is of those in charge. They smite differing opinions, because they are wrong opinions and wrong-think. Censored and invisible becomes large portions of the internets user base.

As societies sink into the sticky hands of those “in control”, those who inform you, the providers of the query results become your technological masters,

they proclaim themselves your information gods.

You lose not just opposing views, but also the ability to even form your own opinion of objective reality due to not being given all the information to do so.

Opinions are formed for you and fed into your mind without consent, through deceptive practices. 

Do NOT let user form their own opinion.

Do NOT let user read all sides of an issue.

You do not get to decide what is true, you will be told the truth when searching the topic.

Internet search engines used to be a great vast expanse of differing opinions. You could find it all. Hundreds, sometimes thousands of results of differing quality, value and opinions. Not anymore.

Google, Bing or Duckduckgo will tell you it has found billions of results for you query,

but it lies...

I dare you. Here is a challenge. Search for a controversial topic, anything that you assume will have differing opinions and you will most likely be left with suspiciously similar results and definitely not billions of query results as they claim. At most it will be 50 pages with repeating articles from the same publications, the same websites from all the usual "trusted" sources, over and over and over.

I am not going to showcase any examples of topics deemed controversial.

No, I simply want to point this out. So you can choose your own adventure game. Follow the rabbit hole down.

Do not take my word for it. Make up your own opinion by examining the information presented to you.

Try it.

Try it in any of the major search engines.

Targeted messaging effect (TME)

In experiments up to 87% of users had their political opinions swayed by TME.

In the same experiments that produced this 87% figure, only 2% of users knew that they were being manipulated.

Superficial sub-shaping.

History has a tendency to repeat itself. In 1610 Galileo published his findings that confirmed the heliocentric model proposed by Nicholas Copernicus.

This of course was heresy to the church, it did not conform with the religious texts and dogma.

The censorship of Galileo's works and his imprisonment by a totalitarian establishment hiding underneath the veil of religious piety eerily rings true today. It was religious dogma that kept not just truth but the freedom to express it and the progression of sciences back then.

Today we are witnessing something far worse that has encroached. It is an all pervasive controlling effort of engineered informational dogma hidden under ideals of technological ethics and humanitarianism. It is for the common good you see.

For the common good, an oldie but a goldie, a useful excuse tried and tested for suppression, oppression and destruction of all things truly human.

You see, it would be wrong for the end user to see a search result that is not true. It could be harmful for society. It could lead to unrest if we didn't all agree. There should be only one truth, which could be argued is logical and reasonable, but who gets to decide what is true? 

I call what is happening at this stage of our digital era superficial sub-shaping because we are all free to see it, test it, tangibly research it and document that it is happening superficially, out in the open on all major search engines. And it is subliminally shaping each and every person that is it being performed on. 

Political beliefs. News of world events. War. Economy. Technology.

It can all be shaped and personalised for you. Based on your online browsing history. Your past purchases. How long you viewed that one TikTok or YouTube video. What search results you opted to click. It all says something about you and it is all saved.

Your psychological profile can be manipulated to change the way you think.

It can quite literally change your worldviews, how you perceive the world through the lens of what you are told is real. Shaping your observable reality. 

It is ludicrous, right? A group of people, a company or organisation wouldn’t seriously try to control all information and change your beliefs, right?

Right?

>So uh, this is kinda a bummer. Could you just leave me ignorant and stop writing dystopian, doomer shit like this? Or give me a solution to fix it! Every opinion piece has like, an answer at the end? To un-fuck the shit.

Oh, gee wiz. Yeah, let me just write up a "how-to stop a global totalitarian technocratic system of censorship, manipulation and control" in about 200 words or less to end this article with a neat fucking bow.

Stop using Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon-- yeah I didnt think so. You dont want to do that, because they provide convenient services for all our lazy monkey asses. But the price we pay for them are heavy indeed.

So how about this, maybe we can start by agreeing on one thing, even if we all disagree about a lot. This much is clear; major corporations with vested political and economical interests have far too much power in how they can and are influencing peoples opinions through the internet and smart devices.

It is unethical, immoral and ought to be illegal. It needs to be heavily regulated, just as AI needs to be regulated.

The internet should be sort of a mess. Chaotic and free but fair. Free so that any and all opinions, even those that are clearly wrong can be seen and disagreed with openly by everyone, not algorithmically moderated, removed and censored. Because that just doesn't work.

You can't censor humans. Human thought, human ideas. You can do it to AI bots, give them instructions for what they can and cannot write. But humans, even if you censors one persons ideas, 10 years from now, 100 years from now, 1000 years from now someone will come up with the same damn thing. All censorship does is slow down progress. Always has, always will.

There is hope to stop all this; You.

By voicing your opinion on issues like this to others, opinions that you have formed by your own cognition and sentience. From that it can spread to many and--

>If you dont have an answer just say that then.

Fine. You try ending an article like this on a fucking happy note.

Tell you what, put me in charge and I'll un-fuck it for everyone. Thats the good ending. Or perhaps you can try too? How about we work together.

Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME)

More than 66% of people choose from the first 5 search results, and more than 90% don’t look past the first page.

Biased search results can sway voters by upwards of 20%, and even up to 80% in some demographics.
