A blog writer who injects ads cares in an analogy similar to how a low-level street dealer cares about pushing to clients. It provides the income. Further up the chain it goes much further than just ads, up to state actors who try to influence elections all across the globe, based on such data. And with AI a new Wild West wide open to explore.
- user34283 11mo agoSelling drugs causes harm. Targeting political ads? Debatable - whether AI is somehow involved or not.
- 1718627440 11mo agoI would consider making people to vote for a criminal dictator to be more harmful than selling drugs, the former is destroying way more lives than the latter. And I am someone who would vote for more enforcement and regulation of bans on drugs.
- user34283 11mo agoNo matter your political opinions, the ability to target political advertisements hardly seems like the nightmare you all act like it was. Multiple people keep talking about selling hard drugs in the comments. Seems a tad dramatic.
- zelphirkalt 11mo agoShowing ads (not necessarily political ads) can be harmful. Very easy example is of course ads for gambling sites.
