No, after we tariffed you, lectured you that Russia isn’t a threat, and demanded territory. Okay. So. Weaken yourself to rescue us or we’ll hurt our own economy more and you’ll be sorry. 19383149

Liz @gingerlizard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I also think part of the issue is that people who still regularly use X are just exposed to that much more AI content. Some users haven’t learned skepticism because it’s part of the background noise of their daily experience on the platform. Many happily share obvious AI political ads too! 000
Liz @gingerlizard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026But when tens or hundreds of thousands of people follow you online specifically for your expertise, you have a duty to ask yourself if the source you’re sharing from is credible. If in doubt, it’s so easy to simply choose not to share it so you don’t contribute to the problem. 100
Liz @gingerlizard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’m not gonna pretend I’m completely immune here. I was fooled by a Reddit post claiming to show a screenshot of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry on the same episode of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. No such episode exists. It was a reminder that AI content is designed to tug at our emotions for engagement. 100
Liz @gingerlizard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I admit I still have an active X account (locked, wiped, and only really used for verifying certain tweets), and it is alarming to see people with reputations to maintain — elected officials, commentators, etc. — casually retweeting AI-generated content without realizing it’s AI. 110
