Racists Are Using AI to Spread Diabolical Anti-Immigrant Slop

Futurism
One of the nastiest yet: using AI to fuel racist conspiracy theories, putting minorities and immigrants in danger.
Recent reporting by The Times found that anti-immigration protests are being stirred up by social media users sharing outrageously bigoted AI images depicting hoards of Arab immigrants taking over the streets of London.
The content comes alongside an uptick in anti-immigrant and Islamophobic hate crimes in the UK, as racism becomes normalized across the country.
Organized racism is likewise on the rise, embodied by an outpouring of anti-immigrant protests and rhetoric across the UK.
With so much engagement to be farmed on both sides, it seems social media companies are happy to let the avalanche of racist AI slop continue — consequences be damned.
