Far-Right Politicians Discover New AI Trick: Scare Tactics 2.0, Now With 100% More Holograms!
In a groundbreaking evolution of old-school fearmongering, far-right parties in Europe have traded in their megaphones and tired rhetoric for cutting-edge AI technology, adding a dash of digital pixie dust to their fear campaigns. These digital wizards are reportedly using AI to whip up dystopian images that make doomsday predictions look like bedtime stories.
Experts have identified a peculiar increase in AI-generated fake images that portray Europe as the next set location for a post-apocalyptic film, complete with dramatizations of immigrant “invasions.” Because apparently, nothing says “Welcome to Europe” like computer-generated pictures of zombies with visa applications.
“It’s like they’ve handed your cranky uncle the keys to a supercomputer,” explained Hans von Fakeberg, a totally real and highly sarcastic expert on the subject. “Instead of just forwarding inflammatory memes on social media, they can now orchestrate a virtual stampede—complete with digital special effects that rival a low-budget sci-fi film.”
Sources indicate that this trend really took off during the European parliamentary elections and, like an overpriced theme park ride, has been gaining momentum ever since. In fact, the rollout has been so “successful” that soon, you might get concert tickets in your inbox for the AI’s next big holographic propaganda tour.
Political analyst Lucy Imaginary teased that the campaign might soon feature “holograms of Macron doing the macarena with Martians,” in a bid to drum up outrage and bewilderment. “They’re essentially weaponizing AI to create more confusing fiction than the plot of Inception,” added Imaginary with a bewildered chuckle.
However, some see this technological arms race in political deception as a heartwarming testimony to human adaptability. “It just goes to show, where there’s a regressive will, there’s always a convoluted technological way,” commented Friedrich Clickbait, a social historian who specializes in 21st-century absurdities.
Meanwhile, other factions are expected to retaliate next month by deploying AI-generated videos of kittens playing violins, each perfectly orchestrated to manipulate emotions toward inconceivable levels of passive-aggression.
As Europe reels from this AI-generated hullabaloo, citizens are advised to approach political imagery with the level of skepticism typically reserved for a politician’s promise or your mother-in-law’s casserole. After all, in the digital age, what’s a little false reality between friends and foes?
