China uses AI to generate propaganda on YouTube, report finds
From ultra-thin chips to infrastructure, content gushes about Chinese accomplishments.
In a YouTube video, a voice in English announces that China has researched and developed its own ultra-thin 1-nanometer chip – a staggering claim given that the chip isn’t expected in commercial devices for another decade.
"Recent news from China has sent ripples of excitement and astonishment across the globe," gushes the voice-over on the China Charged YouTube channel. "This revolutionary breakthrough is more than a technological marvel; it is a game-changer that will redefine the global tech landscape."
"Prepare to have your mind blown," says another video, this time on the channel Unbelievable Projects. "Welcome to today's video, in which we'll discover why America remains behind China in infrastructure development."
These voices and their “good news” about China are evidence that the Chinese Communist Party and its overseas proxies are using artificial intelligence to flood YouTube with propaganda videos, according to a new report that describes a "coordinated inauthentic influence campaign" on the platform.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Nobody, and I do literally mean nobody, has ever said that BEVs would single-handedly solve climate change.
Congratulations on knocking down the strawman you have created.
Bro fuck off I'm being hounded by idiots because they're saying exactly what you're saying nobody is saying.
No you aren't.
None of those comments say what you're alleging they say lmao, they're saying what I just said
HAHAHAHAHA fuck me. What an own goal.
Which ones oth these say that electric cars will single-handedly halt climate change? I'm waiting.
i think the only thing deft is deft at is the dunning Kruger effect.
Lol what the fuck are you dumb?

Read between the lines. This kid is telling me in 12 months diesel will be gone by EVs and then nothing, just that's it. Guess that's the final solution.
Another tells me I have no hope. There is no hope the car industry and infrastructure is bad overall entirely.
They're basically arguing once we get EVs car pollution is solved and checked so we can move on. And that's just not true.
No they aren't. Stop making stuff up.
Okay strawman boy whatever you say
Point me to where these people are saying BEVs will single-handedly end climate change, like you alleged.
But they are being marketed as a very sustainable and ecologically friendly method of transportation which they very much are not. There's no straw man there I just used a hypothetical to accentuate the meaninglessness of "more sustainable" forms of overconsumption. Cars are an incredibly wasteful and absurd form of daily transportation; especially in mass. The fight against climate change will directly affect your life and you will have to change aspects of your life for the benefit of the world as a whole. We cannot continue our path of overconsumption and overproduction and expect it to just work out or become sustainable in the future somehow. If the solution is being sold it isn't the solution
Obviously, I'm aware that no one believes EVs will single handedly solve climate change. I'm not stupid and I don't think you are either
You've just knocked down strawman yourself.
The point made by commenter is not that cars are the only source of climate change, but that EV industry is in itself heavily polluting and unsustainable. While it is true that it is a little less heavy on the environment than an ICE car (assuming you drive it regularly, because building an EV is less environmentally friendly, actually), it is still an incredibly environmentally unfriendly solution.
Manufacturing is super polluting and expends very limited resources in huge quantities. Energy sources are normally NOT green, and even if they are, they are not harmless, too. Tyres are still a giant problem. Parking lots require a lot of urban spaces, which leads to stretching cities and exacerbating problems with all transportation, as well as leading to deforestation on the outskirts and ramped up asphalt production. More roads are required, meaning again, more intervention in natural ecosystems, extreme amounts of resources and pollution.
There is simply no way you can drive a 2-ton car to move ~70kg human around with it making any ecological sense, while many people pretend that EV's are here to save us. No, sorry, they are not; you'll have to change your habits if you want to keep Earth habitable. Period.
