Ai generated political ads in the wild (beehaw.org)

I watch a lot of progressive political content on youtube, and am still bombarded by far right ads, like "Epoch Time" etc.

Im not sure what "Earn Tech" is but no way am I clicking on this.

But this is a new one, this is clearly an AI generated image of Trudeau - trying to make him look angry? I wonder how bad these are going to get. Anyone else seen any?

The algorithm is primed by engagement. It is almost certain that progressives are most likely to engage with this ad and ones like it.

Why would anyone else? Those who lean right will think: "Not that blowhard again. Yawn." and those who pay no mind to politics will think: "I don't know who that is. Next." But the progressives will think: "Hey, I know that guy. I wonder what he said now? <click>"
