AI-Powered Social Media Manipulation App Promises to 'Shape Reality'.

The vast world of the Internet is, unfortunately, filled with users accustomed to expressing their unethical and often extremely toxic thoughts without considering the impact of their words. Today's social networks have become a minefield of conflicting opinions, often communicated in an arrogant and presumptuous manner. More and more people have expressed the intention to distance themselves from the online scene, as to safeguard their psychological health.

What would happen, however, if there was an app that could flood social media with positive comments? What would change if all posts promoting misinformation were suddenly filled with comments pointing out the fallacy of what was stated? The idea, in theory, could work - the problem arises when it turns out that every single comment would be generated by an artificial intelligence.

Impact is a US-produced app whose goal seems to be ‘shaping and managing narratives in the modern world’. However, the plan of action is to call on real people to copy and paste AI-generated talking points on specific posts on one social media outlet rather than another. We are not living in a dystopia yet, but this option seems to be just around the corner.
