Funny how these fake AI "influencers" and "musicians" always seem to come from the right.
They are so devoid of creativity, and are so incapable making anything worthwhile, that they (try to) have AI do it instead.
Pathetic
It's genuinely shocking when you consider how shitty white boys will try to be a rapper about literally anything. There are multiple guys out there rapping about crypto, NFTs, and $GME. But these fucking losers had to get a computer to spit one out because they can't even manage to be as appealing as a conspiracy theory about a mythical short squeeze that will reset the entire global financial system.
What's wrong with being a rapper?
Rapping takes more skill than just saying a bunch of words fast over the right beat. A lot of middle/upper class white kids do not realize this and are not in the kind of environment to get real feedback on their rap.
You soud racist as fuck. Skin color has nothing to do with actual skills.
Hmm, wonder if there were words before the section you decided to quote.
rest is pretty irrelevant to your racism
Creativity that isn't about pushing or punching down goes against the whole purpose of conservatism.
Because right is more aware of the truth: General populace doesn't care if it's AI or not. All they care about is quality
It's not about quality. Most people use content just to fill a void. Look outside at the people around you. Just about everyone is looking at their phones on rides, listening to podcasts when walking. It's just filler.
The alt-right took over the social sphere just by taking up space. All the manosphere/trad-life/christo-fascist/slopaganda crap flooded the internet, and then it became the norm—not because it was convincing, but because it was recognizable. People parrot what they hear; And that's especially true for the majority of unintelligent folks who wish to masquerade as intelligent. It just so happens the masses heard a lot of "women/people of color/queers are destroying our great white Christian society".
There's nothing about this that's inherent to bigotry or conservative ideology; It's just that USA conservative-aligned businessfolk bought up the outlets and skewed the scene a little bit in the favor of alt-right ideology. Over years that compounded, and now it's seized the entire conversation. Perhaps lefties/liberals were hesitant to use those methods because they play to emotions, and not intelligence; But this is the reality of our current social sphere.
First this is completely untrue. Internet is open for everyone everyone can find media that suit their preferences . Second, for many years a lot of it was actually dominated by left. It's just that pendulum swings back.
Algorithms took over searching, flood the algorithm with content and fake views and you dictate what others see.
^ this. The specific example in my mind was TikTok short-form manosphere content that flooded the internet in 2023.
It doesn't even need to have fake views. Content tagged with rising extremist views will naturally foster higher engagement—some of it from the absurdity; some of it from the growing group of people who believe it. Andrew Tate was a large part of promoting violent misogyny and patriarchy. The views never changed; they just became far more familiar.
