So that Rolling Stone article from a few days ago, the one claiming Taylors last album got hit by a huge "bot attack"? The one that tried to make all criticism look coordinated and malicious?
People dug into the company behind the so called analysis. It's called gudea.ai and it is not a neutral data firm. It's an Al powered PR crisis management company that literally sells "narrative shaping" for brands.
Their whole job is using Al to scan social media for anything negative then crafting ready made "storylines' that can be pushed out to protect the client's image.
That's their business model and Rolling Stone presented this like it was some objective, independent investigation instead of a PR company hired by the person they were defending. No disclosure. No transparency. Nothing.
People were raising valid criticisms. and instead of addressing any of it, her team just fed an Al generated narrative to a major magazine, which they then published as fact.
"We can't trust anything because of bots" – coming from an AI firm.
