Whoa! "Influence-as-a-Service"?! Are we seriously talking about AI pulling the strings for social media bots now? That's creeping into some next-level cyber territory, and honestly, it's unnerving.
Look, as a pentester, I absolutely see how AI can be a game-changer for security – I get the upside. But *this* particular development? It’s something else entirely. Attackers are actively weaponizing this technology, leveraging it to pump out disinformation and manipulate how people think. And the kicker? It’s proving effective!
It’s the same old story, isn't it? The "good" tools inevitably get twisted and misused by those with bad intentions. A classic scenario.
What we desperately need are sharper detection methods, plus a serious upgrade in media literacy across the board. How are you seeing this unfold? Are we stumbling towards a reality increasingly steered by AI? Let me know your thoughts.
