Consoom 4chan hack: oy vey we have free speech too!
(media.scored.co)
Yeah, I had AI books as a kid I bought from a used book store about programming some word predicition models in LISP (which is an all but dead language now to my knowledge, though it would be funny to see it make a comeback because it has more parenthesis than a rabbinical convention) that were probably written in the 90s. The only thing thats changed is that we have better graphics cards to run the AI at reasonable speed. I guarantee governments had the tech to run a convincing enough chatbot to shape social media in the early 2000s.
