The amount of truth on the Internet is a rounding error

The following video is an excellent analysis of the state of AI-generated content as used to generate false narratives that are politically advantageous to the elites. Evan focuses on accounts and influencers that promote the narrative of an increasingly lawless and violent London that use completely fictitious, AI-generated content and which benefit personally tremendously from the advertisements shown on their “engaging” content.

Something Very Strange Is Happening To London by Evan Edinger (YouTube)

The locations in these extremely popular videos that he examines either don’t exist or they’re in towns that are nowhere near London. Many of the posters are probably not even real people or real accounts. They peddle lies to generate anger, then harvest attention, funneling it to advertisements. Evan argues that the monetization on videos like this should be disabled immediately. It’s a good idea but it will never happen. He further recommends to get outside, to experience life in the city to see that there’s no truth to anything that you’re seeing online.

Violence in the U.S.The tactics he covers are the same as those used to manipulate public opinion about the violence in any of a dozen U.S.-American cities. None of the violence purported to exist by the administration actually exists, but the Trump administration used it as an excuse to send national troops to several cities that he was otherwise mad at. The president continues to refer to this nonexistent violence to this day. None of it this stuff is real but it has real-world consequences.
