    My argument is that it’s worth considering that AI might not be the best route to persuade people.

    The person who started this subthread is the one who seems to be claiming that AI is ineffective agitprop, and says that polling backs it up.

    I merely think that’s worth considering and that their claim should be addressed for what it is, rather than just accusing them of moralizing. If you want the evidence that they claim to have, you shoud reply to them

    "Everything is okay that gets the job done.

    The argument here is that AI doesn’t get the job done though if people reflexively reject AI. This isnt an argument of moral purity, it’s an argument of pragmatics and should be addressed as such.

    To that point:

    While some will be turned off by this, they will also be by literally anything else.

    And others? There are of course people who are unreachable by any means. But foe those who are reachable by some means byt not others, it’s worth considering whether AI is the best route to do so. And there are definitely those who will see AI and immediately reject or ignore whatever message it contains. They may accuse the poster of being a bot, and doubt the veracity of communistic advocacy in general, which is the path of least resistance in a society that lends suppirt to every communist debunk.

    It’s precisely because we are fighting from an anti-hegemonic position that we must safeguard our credibility. It is already too easy for our enemies to make our truth seem like lies, and perceived dishonesty will harm us more than the ease of AI will help us.

    In the painter one Lenin has 4 fingers on his left hand and 5 fingers on his right. It’s been years of this same problem showing up in AI “art” again and again. I’m not as confident as you are of everytjing being magically better in 6 months.

    Also label your AI. Crediting artists is basic shit
