The LLM's (Large Language Models) that feed AI are easily poisoned with disinformation.

Unfortunately, there are strong efforts underway to thwart study of oligarchy & the malign influence campaigns that they fund.

Goebbels would have been so envious, but..

@shuttersparks Adding on top of @Npars01 's information: who controls the compute necessary to run AI models (assuming LLMs)?

Also oligarchy's crimes are done in broad daylight and the most sophisticated tool to use is a magnifying glass to read your paycheck.
Not because it is that small, but because you can't afford glasses in health uncare (as in privatized HC).
