All I have done is take the original piece of mainstream news headline derived propaganda and analyzed it. The original appearance and dissemination of this apparent anti-china propaganda dates to February 4th 2020, yet I've found a cast of characters who could be responsbile for it's creation here. https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/t/coronavirus-2019-2020-thread-no-unsubstantiated-rumours.8679/
- the author here claims it was written initially in Mandarin, then translated to English
and that admission is why I wanted to look more closely at this.
It clearly reads like someone trying to write in English as a second language and using headlines which they deemed sinophobic as its context.
I've added very little of my own input into all this above, which is obvious when you compare the initial online versions of this anti-chinese propaganda to my post.
It's an illustrative exercise of reverse engineering the arguments and points of contention cited to their originating mainstream media news headline.
Indeed there was an user on the sinodefence forum asking around for advice or links to any english language news aggregrators or newswire scrapers they could use, presumably for the sole purpose of constructing an inflammatory information warfare driven publication for dissemination online at a time when sinophobia was running rampant worldwide.
The importance of this exercise was to illustrate how easy it is to disseminate inflammatory and procedurally automated information texts for specific geopolitical (or other) goals. I meticulously went through the text, selecting key phrases or sentences which stuck out as "too headliney," then copy-pasted the same phrase into a search engine.
In 95% of searches done in this way, the first result was some mainstream media news article which contained the same key phrase in it's headline. And those articles were all published prior to February 4th 2020.
In another way, I've captured a chronological slice of mainstream media news headlines through this search and citation/ referencing process.
Hope this helps @valued-customer
LOL! Yes, exactly!
Just remember, it is not my post!
You can credit the dissected corpse left on the cutting room floor as mine if you like though. By creating a blockchained record of this original text and inserting the references it used for its own propaganda purposes, i've cut this shit up beyond any salvaging.
Well, not stating that was the purpose of the post in the post itself, or in the comment of links below it, left the false impression that the views expressed in the post weren't just AI generated, but were your opinion you intended to promulgate. I think that was a failure to provide information fundamental to your purpose, that you only now make clear as a reply to my comment.
I have said I appreciate the depth of research that went into the post, but failing to contextualize or update the research leads to gross misunderstanding, and I expect that to not be repeated. It would have been very easy to include one sentence at the end, or better yet, at the beginning of the post to point out the very different purpose of the post to most blogs, and failing to do that was very misleading.
I hope you do learn from that failure and do not repeat it.
Thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding.
My pleasure. I've edited the original post to add a preface that directly addresses our discussion.
Thanks
