Limit the Propaganda Virus

Open MathiasRauls opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Describe the Virus This bug is more of a virus that spreads constantly all over the platform, it is truly inescapable at this point. From political leaders, working-class citizens, and global officials anyone and everyone is unleashing propaganda upon the world most of it being misinformation.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Trending'
  2. See Propaganda

Expected behavior A well informed platform where people can share ideas and discuss world events in a way that is constructive and positively reinforced by the culture of the space.

Screenshots No need just go to the Trending page or the For You section. :)

Additional context (IDEA) Is there any chance that you guys at Twitter can train an AI model using GPT 4 that can detect when a piece of information that falls under the definition of propaganda? And instead of censoring posts why not let the user know in big red letters. "THIS POST MAY CONTAIN INFORMATION THAT IS MENTALLY MALICIOUS".

Can you provide a screenshot? I don't use Twitter.

I want to know more about the concept of "mentally malicious", the term is totally unknown to me.

I also get a lot of Elon Musk spam.

I feel like you have no idea what you are talking about.

Thanks for wasting time of benevolent people trying to take care of the code that drive tools you use everyday to take cat pictures.

@aloiscochard I don't know if you actively work on this code or you're defending the community that does but quite frankly, if you're actively helping a large corporation with no benefit to yourself, you really don't value your time in the first place.
