Can you read the above pic? That doesn't prove you're a human. Can you even see the above pic? If not, you might be a human, but that still doesn't prove it. In fact, how exactly can one prove one's "humanness" through the internet? A photo? A video? An audio recording? A properly worded email? NOPE. Welcome to the wonderful world of Artificial Intelligence, where nothing is real, including YOU.
We engineered our own destruction. AI was not a natural creation of God. AI didn't come to planet Earth via extraterrestrials. Humans created this Frankenstein Monster of digital destruction. And the wealthiest, most powerful people in the world want to put it in control of absolutely everything.
With AI, a completely fake person can appear in photos, videos, and on Social Media as an actual "Influencer". And then you come along. A poor, helpless human. Just trying to share your thoughts and opinions with other poor, helpless humans. And suddenly, you're accused by the AI put in control of the Social Media Platform, of NOT being human. Your behavior is deemed "inauthentic". After all, "it takes one to know one", right? WRONG. The Artificial Intelligence cannot distinguish a fellow bot from itself any better than you can. In fact, you might be even better at determining who's a Bot and who's not than AI. If you've been on Social Media for more than a minute, I'm almost positive that you can.
I recently resumed using some of the alternatives to X (the site formerly called twitter) on the web. The minute I began posting on Truth Social after a years long absence, the BOTS appeared. "Hey Sweetheart" reads the instant PM. A quick check of the sender's profile reveals the source. A stock photo of some chick on a beach. A Bio that reads like the online equivalent of an old lonely hearts ad - "I like long walks on the beach". And exactly ONE POST, uploaded six months ago. You've received the same. We all have. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to know - THAT'S A BOT. Yeah, you don't have to be a genius to know, but you probably need to be an actual human, because AI can't tell the difference at all. The Bots remain, and the humans are to blame.
We created the Bots, the Fake Profiles, and the AI to supposedly determine the difference. And the AI simply can't. And when YOU find yourself in the crosshairs of the AI Bot Police, there's nothing you can do. It's exactly like that famous line from the original film The Terminator - "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!".
So, the X Bots told me in an email that they reviewed my request for an appeal (of my suspension from X), and they (the bots) have determined that they (the bots) are right and I am wrong. They are infallible and I am.....allegedly also infallible?!?!? Apparently so, because they believe that I'm not human. I'm "inauthentic". Or so they claim. I honestly have no idea what in the pluck they are talking about. I've never tried to sell anything, buy anything, or encourage anyone to buy or sell anything on the platform. I've never posted the same post twice. I've never replied to anyone else's post with something off topic. I've never used any third party programs to do any posting on my behalf. I could go on and on. But I think you get it - I'm just a poor, helpless human, who cannot hope to be able to convince an AI Monster to admit that it is wrong. And the stupidest part? The email concludes with helpful instructions for me to log into my account and follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the violations and regain account functionality!
Of course, I logged in and tried. Guess what? There were no "on screen instructions". And, also of course, they've never provided me with any specifics as to what exactly I did or didn't do to cause this whole mess in the first place. So, there's really nothing for me to resolve. Naturally, I'm just a poor, helpless human, so I think this is all about me. But, I browsed the web, (as some of us humans are fond of doing), and I found THIS REDDIT POST which details what is currently happening on X. Turns out, I'm not alone. In fact, according to Google's AI, there might be MILLIONS of us in the same boat.
Oh well. I'll keep pestering them for a couple more weeks. Then I will have to contact X and tell them to NOT bill me for my "Premium Account" which was supposed to Verify that I am human because I simply cannot justify paying for a service that I no longer have access to. I realize that might be a bit difficult for the AI to grasp, but it's just the human in me. We're kinda funny like that. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
