Battling Anti-Israel Hate with AI Bots - Technion - Israel Institute of Technology
Israel’s battle against misinformation and hate is overwhelming on most days. During a war, it goes on overdrive. By last measure, online anti-Semitism has spiked by a massive 1200% since October 7th When faced with a river of hate from legions of enemy countries and sympathizers, Israel’s Hasbara (...
This article seems to mix antizionism and critique of the state of Israel with antisemitism. One could argue that the article is a tool to curb critique of the state of Israel by abusing the general dislike of antisemitism. That would be war propaganda.
Yeah I think you're right. I'm not taking a side, both parties use disinformation in this conflict, the technical abilities that Israel owns are far more advanced though, as in, they cut of the entire internet for Gaza, didn't they? So there wouldn't be any alternative sources of information.
Holy automated pro-genocide propaganda, Batman!
Google automated propaganda
There's a way easier and better way to make folks stop hating you.
Imagine the US deploying AI bots to deal with "anti-US hate". Wild.
I guess that was kinda the cold war though.
DARPA, and the national science foundation provide grants to AI backed social graph disinformation eradiction efforts.
Same thing, different paint job.
Sarcasm, but only just. I hope nobody's dumb enough in the US government to say we need to make propaganda online, but they might forget to use the politically correct smoke screen combat disinformation online.
anyways, I wanted to say that I'm not a proponent of the content of this article, but I think it is important that people see it

Initially downvoted, but you're right.
That's a lot of words to describe what the CCP has been doing for years.
Right, that's why it's familiar
At this point where they say this that openly I think I'll stop all the efforts at arguing online unless the opponent is quite clearly not a bot.
Lem's "Bomba megabitowa" comes true in everything.
I like Lem and one may find some solutions in his approaches. But I also liked the Web like 20-15 years ago, it was nice.
Covering APIs, AI-driven translators and other tools based on their proprietary large language model, it is already collaborating with some of the best-known experts in the field, including at AI21 Labs, Google, and Microsoft.
Imagine AI being able to instantly check whether a post violates the terms of service (TOS) of the specific platform where it’s made.
Imagine the ability to report said post on the spot.
And if it doesn’t violate the TOS, to instantly generate the best counterargument?
Kind of a weird apocalyptic way to kick humans off the internet:
When online opinions no longer matter because, he who has the strongest computer, will have the best AI. Which will also have the best public opinion(s).
At that point, only places where people can confirm you are a real human will matter.
hamas and palestine brought it on themselves. Remember that palestine voted in hamas. and hamas are using palestinians as shields. they even murder them if they complain about hamas. No court, no judge, no jury, just execution.
If you are supporting hamas, or a "free palestine" you are blindly retarded.
The last election was in 2006. 17 years ago. The median age of people there is only 20. Most of those people didn't vote for anyone, let alone Hamas. And even those that did vote, Hamas got less than 50% of the vote.
Also, nice use of ableist slurs there. Is that really appropriate?

Islam and the Jews: The Pact of Umar, 9th Century CE
THE Pact of Umar is the body of limitations and privileges entered into by treaty between conquering Muslims and conquered non-Muslims. We have no special treaty of this sort with the Jews, but we must assume that all conquered peoples, including the Jews, had to subscribe to it. Thus the laws cited below and directed against churches apply to synagogues too. The Pact was probably originated about 637 by Umar I after the conquest of Christian Syria and Palestine. By accretions from established practices and precedents, the Pact was extended; yet despite these additions the whole Pact was ascribed to Umar. There are many variants of the text and scholars deny that the text as it now stands could have come from the pen of Umar I; it is generally assumed that its present form dates from about the ninth century.
The Pact of Umar has served to govern the relations between the Muslims and "the people of the book," such as Jews, Christians, and the like, down to the present day.
In addition to the conditions of the Pact listed below, the Jews, like the Christians, paid a head-tax in return for protection, and for exemption from military service. Jews and Christians were also forbidden to hold government office. This Pact, like much medieval legislation, was honored more in the breach than in the observance. In general, though, the Pact increased in stringency with the centuries and was still in force in the 20th century in lands such as Yemen. The Pact is in Arabic.
In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate!
This is a writing to Umar from the Christians of such and such a city. When You [Muslims] marched against us [Christians],: we asked of you protection for ourselves, our posterity, our possessions, and our co-religionists; and we made this stipulation with you, that we will not erect in our city or the suburbs any new monastery, church, cell or hermitage; that we will not repair any of such buildings that may fall into ruins, or renew those that may be situated in the Muslim quarters of the town; that we will not refuse the Muslims entry into our churches either by night or by day; that we will open the gates wide to passengers and travellers; that we will receive any Muslim traveller into our houses and give him food and lodging for three nights; that we will not harbor any spy in our churches or houses, or conceal any enemy of the Muslims. [At least six of these laws were taken over from earlier Christian laws against infidels.]
That we will not teach our children the Qu'ran [some nationalist Arabs feared the infidels would ridicule the Qu'ran; others did not want infidels even to learn the language]; that we will not make a show of the Christian religion nor invite any one to embrace it; that we will not prevent any of our kinsmen from embracing Islam, if they so desire. That we will honor the Muslims and rise up in our assemblies when they wish to take their seats; that we will not imitate them in our dress, either in the cap, turban, sandals, or parting of the hair; that we will not make use of their expressions of speech, nor adopt their surnames [infidels must not use greetings and special phrases employed only by Muslims]; that we will not ride on saddles, or gird on swords, or take to ourselves arms or wear them, or engrave Arabic inscriptions on our rings; that we will not sell wine [forbidden to Muslims]; that we will shave the front of our heads; that we will keep to our own style of dress, wherever we may be; that we will wear girdles round our waists [infidels wore leather or cord girdles; Muslims, cloth and silk].
That we will not display the cross upon our churches or display our crosses or our sacred books in the streets of the Muslims, or in their market-places; that we will strike the clappers in our churches lightly [wooden rattles or bells summoned the people to church or synagogue]; that we will not recite our services in a loud voice when a Muslim is present; that we will not carry Palm branches [on Palm Sunday] or our images in procession in the streets; that at the burial of our dead we will not chant loudly or carry lighted candles in the streets of the Muslims or their market places; that we will not take any slaves that have already been in the possession of Muslims, nor spy into their houses; and that we will not strike any Muslim.
All this we promise to observe, on behalf of ourselves and our co-religionists, and receive protection from you in exchange; and if we violate any of the conditions of this agreement, then we forfeit your protection and you are at liberty to treat us as enemies and rebels.
