Artificial intelligence is one of those critical technologies that are developing rapidly, and their application is being implemented in a wide variety of fields. Although there are cases when these innovations are clearly not beneficial, but rather used for destructive purposes.
On August 21, 2024, the New York Times published quite a long material that The US Department of Justice had launched an investigation into American citizens who had connections with Russian state television networks. To do this, the FBI raided the homes of two people who are well-known commentators in order, as they say, “to blunt attempts to influence the November’s elections.“
I recently came across an article by a retired American general in which he spoke vividly and quite convincingly (of course, referring to the Western reader for whom the publication was intended) about the weaknesses of the Russian army. Why did the author's text seem impressive? Several arguments can be advanced here:
1) professionalism, since a military officer knows more than a civilian journalist;
2) timing, as the article came out after the withdrawal of some Russian troops from Ukraine, which was presented as a weakness;
3) personal history, as the general described his experience of interaction with the Russian military since the 1990s, visits to Moscow and exchange visits of the Russian military.
