Here’s where it gets really sad:

Prof van der Linden warned that research also suggests many people do not seem to care if content is AI-generated or not.

"As long as it resonates with their identity and world-view they will often still endorse the content and share it with others because it signals agreement with a larger agenda," he said.

As one commenter on the "Great British People" Facebook page put it: "It's probably AI but the fact is that he is right about everything".

These people should be jettisoned into the sea.
