“…will it save us from people inside the media making up elaborate conspiracy theories”
NO. Just look at the past few years. The media completely mis-represented Trump, Covid, China, Brexit, etc to fit their own narratives. Expect this to only get worse as they employ AI along with their other tools. We are truly going through the looking glass with AI and it ain’t a pretty place.
BS is true will join “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength”

The 2016 election was decided on an extremely narrow margin – just a few tens of thousands of votes in three states with 10% of the total US electorate but with margins of less than 1%.
Therefore the messaging which was directed by Cambridge Analytica only needed to achieve a very low conversion rate to do its job.

This is absolutely true. Anyone who looked at the Cambridge Analytica “story” at the time from even a halfway realistic viewpoint knew that the media was intentionally reading much more into it than was there. Yes, many people were seeing and passing along obviously ridiculous takes both pro- and negative on Trump and conservative positions, but not seriously. Most were passing them on as pure entertainment. We’ve learned since that they had little to no effect on the vote, but the phenomenon launched years since of wild-eyed media conspiracy mongering – which is still going on. They have each other completely convinced, but few who live in the real world.
