Don’t worry, everybody. It was just AI. What a relief! I almost thought this guy was a terrible person.

    Ugh. This is now going to be every politician’s excuse until the collapse of civilization. “It wasn’t me, it was AI.”

      And yet people are already coming up with supporting conspiracy bullshit. Someone on another thread on this subject was talking about SQL injections…

    Did anybody look at the reporting CNN did? They linked his email, real name, and a favored username all across his socials. Other details like his age and location further confirm the user on the porn site was him.

    Honestly, it’s scary to think if someone did this to me. Even if you had good opsec, with the help of AI, you might be able to correlate online accounts through writing style alone.

      You dont really need AI for the correlation when you’ve got usernames being reused so heavily and consistently across numerous social platforms. Just a search engine.

        Usernames and unusual phrases.

        Don’t make up weird shit like “gag a maggot” and use them both on your Facebook page and your porn account, dumbass.

            This should be disqualifying even if you don’t care about all the racism and sexism. Anyone who thinks commenting on a porn forum is a normal and good thing to do, especially talking about your personal life, is far too weird to be given power.

          I think the phrases are interesting but pretty unnecessary. He just gave out a bunch of personal information about his life and the posts were way before anyone would have cared to do a hit job on him.

      I used to be freakishly good at finding my irl friends’ Reddit accounts. People tend to talk about things the same way they write. So if I had a friend who loved the Anaheim Ducks because of a specific defensive player, then it’s easy to search r/hockey for “Ducks” and then look at people’s opinions in the thread to find them. If phones are listening in, they could absolutely pick up on common phrases and opinions and find each of us. It’s genuinely not difficult.

      As we know from the Terminator series, AI and time travel go hand in hand.
