The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has developed a new software suite, driven by Google Gemini, Open AI and Anthropic’s Claude, that helps party members generate so-called “rage bait” social media postings.
Central to the new campaign is the Alternita platform, registered to the AfD’s general secretary Hans-Holger Malcomeß, which promises users social media posts “in five minutes, with your positions, in your style, your branding”.
In the case of the AfD, an undercover investigation by Germany’s Correctiv outlet revealed how, in a few clicks, a populist article can be turned into provocative posts to flood social media feeds.
There is not enough political will, because the current government can just point at them as a boogeyman while still enacting fascist policies. Today they will be voting to try to abolish psychotherapy for example. [Edit: They actually passed it and are really proud of themselves for completely gutting social welfare]
