There’s little evidence that debate changes people’s ideas.
Comment on Scientists discover that feeding AI models 10% 4chan trash actually makes them better behaved

I envision a Gemini powered bot that cracks captcha and posts “woke” replies on 4chan. If you’re an antivaxxer, antisemite, nazi, racist, sionist, or otherwise, it will debate you. It will not get tired. It will not get mad. It will maintain a sense of decorum indefinitely and it will never ever stop. If some far right extremist decides to do the same, it will have the advantage that academia is left leaning, meaning my model can cite widely recognized studies.
Dead internet theory and so on, but I’ll gladly completely and utterly destroy the internet if it means the filth dies with it.

Seems more about keeping the idiots occupied so they can’t flood the zone with their bullshit

yeah, this only works in scientific fields

And it rarely works in scientific fields right away - usually an established wrong idea needs to be overwhelmed with serious proof before scientists start to consider that what they “know” might be wrong.

It’s not about changing their ideas. The target is the audience.

I was looking for the person saying a particular quote yesterday.
I asked 3 times the same question and I got 3 different people.
The funny part us I had the quote wrong.
Bullshit all the way down.
