Those two wordings aren't even coming from the same source, what exactly are you trying to prove here?

- chatmasta 10y agoI'm comparing interpretations of what amounts to the same action by Trump and Obama. Admittedly I'm generalizing, but the analogy is more valid than a comparison of apples to oranges. Both Trump and Obama outsourced campaign analytics to professionals, and in both cases there were articles explaining the innovation. In Trump's case, this article (and others I have seen), has a distinctly negative tone. For Obama, the articles praised his data scientists and boasted of their high post-campaign salaries. I challenge you to find an article describing Obama's campaign analytics with similarly negative tone to this article about "weaponized AI propaganda." The differing interpretations of two similar scenarios are worth observing, since the variability represents evidence of bias on the part of the journalists writing the articles.
- webmaven 10y agoThere is a difference in quality in using analytics (whether demographic, psychological, or what have you) to target a state, county, block, or individual with a campaign message (clearly marked as such) in order to try and sway voters to some action, and using the same or similar techniques to create targeted "news" articles not labelled as campaign materials. If even a fraction of what this article is alleging is true, the FEC may have quite a bit to say about it: http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/notices.shtml http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/notices.shtml
