The internet has three levels. 

What you know as the internet is just the tip of the iceberg. It's the surface supported by search engines, protected by antivirus software and security protocols, and colored by social media.

Below this is the gray internet. Well-known search engines don't work here. Government agencies, officially unpublishable websites, secret services, hackers, and everyone who doesn't want to or can't be present on the public net work here. Browsing here is not a crime, and the things found here are not automatically bad or illegal. But whoever nets here is exposed to extra risk. Symbolically, whoever "surfs" here is surfing on a shark-filled, stormy sea.

The next level of the internet is thsystem, where the public surface we use daily is just the tip of the iceberg. Below it lies the gray internet, where less public but not necessarily illegal activities take place, e dark internet. Here, the illegal trade of weapons takes place, drug lords do business here, and you can buy hackers' stolen information here. This dark internet is difficult or not at all accessible to the authorities.

In summary, the internet is a multi-layered then the dark internet, where illegal trade and the exchange of prohibited information take place. All three levels carry different risks, and it is important to be aware of these when using the internet.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that enables computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making.  

Artificial intelligence is a database-driven program that has long been a part of our lives. The term "artificial intelligence" already existed in the 1950s, but there was no internet then, nor the IT tools that are part of our everyday lives.   

There are many different types of artificial intelligence, created for specific tasks. They are used in the film industry, social media. Internet search engines are also included here, and the databases of online stores are also managed by artificial intelligence, such as Amazon's.

It is important that it cannot work without received information. It cannot decide what is true and what is false. It cannot decide whether something is good or bad. Limits are built in, for example, it will not tell you how to commit suicide, but if you ask how someone in history committed suicide, it will tell you.

When you ask a question, it searches the information database available on the internet. It evaluates based on the amount and quality of information. For example, if a smaller percentage of the information amount is reality, but the vast majority is false but popular information, then it prefers the popular but false information. This is important to know when you ask artificial intelligence.

In summary, artificial intelligence can be an effective tool that can help us in everyday life and at work. However, it is important to be aware of its limitations and potential dangers. We must always look critically at the information provided by AI, and we must never forget that AI cannot replace human thinking and wisdom.

When I was studying artificial intelligence, several films were part of the course. One of them was Snowden, directed by Oliver Stone. It's an exciting, spectacular action film interwoven with emotion and love, which tells the true story of Edward Snowden. A real spy story. If you can, watch it! At the end of the film, I asked the instructor how serious he thought it was. He said that as a film, it's a typical action film, but what we see about IT, eavesdropping and spy programs is 100% real. 

My next question was, what has changed since the real-life wiretapping scandal that the film also processed happened. The answer was, nothing. There are no more illegal wiretapping scandals because they changed the rules. When you use a service, download an application, or are present on a social networking site, you accept the terms of service. By doing this, you authorize total surveillance. They do the same thing as before, but now with your consent.

Later, we also watched a documentary in which interviews were conducted with the leaders of Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, etc. They said that they are starting to lose control. The program they created to influence and manipulate the masses is also manipulating them, thereby influencing the development of the program. But let's move on, let's see what they do with the information they have gathered about us with the artificial intelligence and internet tools they provide.

Data collection

Everyone collects information. Every application you use. The bank where I manage my money provides an application. There I can transfer money, pay, but I can also see, for example, how much I spent on food, gas, or how much I spent at Penny Market or Lidl in recent months.

Similarly, Google knows when and where you had dinner, or when you went to the cinema. Navigation knows how much you drive, where you refuel, what your average speed is, and how much you usually rest while driving. The automatic robot vacuum cleaner knows how big your apartment is and how the furniture is arranged. Based on this, they can infer the family's financial situation and needs.

The smart home, considered the solution of the future, where household appliances, media, energy consumers and security systems are connected to the internet, allows for complete surveillance and thus the manipulation of society. Amazon Alexa hears and transmits everything, even if you don't speak to it. In America, a burglar was convicted in court because Alexa recorded everything and served as evidence.

On your smartphone, you can turn on voice control, when it hears what you say and helps. But if you turn it off, it doesn't mean it doesn't hear and transmit. It only means that it doesn't react when you speak. Tests have shown that special topics were discussed in front of the phone, and then advertisements on that topic appeared later. The remotely controlled district heating reveals how much money you have for heating and what your habits are. The fitness application transmits your health data. Even if it didn't, they can access it, it is technically possible.

The camera of the smart TV and the laptop can be activated remotely, so they can see what you are doing in your apartment even when you don't think so. Modern cars are equipped with IT devices. They know how many people are in the car, how much gasoline it consumes, and how much you spend on maintenance. And that's not all...

In summary, a lot of data is collected about us with the help of various devices and applications. This data can be valuable to companies who can use it to offer us personalized ads and services. However, it is important to be aware of what data is collected about us and how it is used.

Artificial intelligence accessible to the masses

Artificial intelligence is a gigantic machine. Power plants that produce energy need to be built, their energy consumption is so high. But this monster needs to be fed not only with energy, but also with information, which has legal obstacles.

Therefore, they created public chatbot systems where you can try out and use artificial intelligence for your work. The primary goal is to provide additional information for development, which you provide for free, or as a subscriber, you support it even more.

Behind artificial intelligence are the companies that finance the research, and thus profit from the processed information. Artificial intelligence is a wonderful tool, the question is always, in whose hands is this tool with such great potential.

For the companies that finance artificial intelligence, the point is to profit from the gigantic amount of information. It is not only the information that you ask, since the answer is easily given by artificial intelligence. All it has to do is look it up on the internet

The REAL INFO is how you ask. The goal is to find out as much information about you as possible, about your interests, your problems, your habits, so that by analyzing them, they can later influence you more easily.

They create a gigantic database based on the algorithms of individuals, from which they analyze an average. They apply it to the masses, with which they manipulate people.

In summary, behind the free or paid services of public chatbot systems, a huge data collection is actually taking place. Companies want to learn as much information about us as possible so that they can later influence our decisions and buying habits more easily. That is why it is important to use these services consciously and to be aware of what data we share with them.

The practical use of social media

The services and applications I have listed so far all collect information about you. Some of this information is available for free, while the rest can be bought or stolen. The world's largest companies have collected a gigantic amount of information about you.

Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest all provide you with the platform for free. They live off advertising revenue.

Meta, Amazon, and Google are the companies with the largest databases, but their artificial intelligence systems are not public. OpenAI and other smaller systems are public, but insignificant compared to the giants listed above.

In the hands of an expert, artificial intelligence is a huge resource. It does the research work of several months in a few minutes. You ask the question, it answers, you interpret it, another question, and it answers again... This technical assistance is provided free of charge, but you have to pay a huge price in return.

What is the real commodity of social media sites, with which they generate huge fortunes?

Facebook, Google, YouTube, etc. do not trade your data. The real product they sell to investors, who pay brutal fortunes for it, is YOU. This is a virtual slave trade, where you are the slave, and you can be bought. Based on all the information gathered about you, artificial intelligence can influence you at the right moment. You are an activatable and influenceable servant who obeys according to their will.

They have made you internet dependent; you cannot do without Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and other things. Your brain is hungry for the impulses with which they can activate and control you. That is why you are their slave. When they think, you obey. This generates advertising revenue for them.

Some political figures won their first election with the help of a multi-million dollar Facebook campaign. Based on illegally acquired data from the Facebook database, they developed an algorithm with which they could activate those Facebook users who were easily influenced. 

This manipulated election program and other factors helped them win the elections. It was not external interference that helped illegally, but they influenced the elections using the Facebook machine.

The "Arab Spring," when political revolutions were triggered in several countries in North Africa, also happened with the help of Facebook. They are capable of organizing demonstrations and mass movements.

The method is simple. Artificial intelligence knows everything about you. It knows what can generate emotion and anger. If the client wants a revolution, artificial intelligence finds the people who can be triggered for this. If the client wants to sell a phone or promote a new car, clothing, service, or person, artificial intelligence finds the people through whom a promotional, and thus revenue-generating process can be launched."

The amount of information is key. Artificial intelligence works with large numbers and performs statistics. The more information it knows about you, the more likely it is to guess how to activate you. The goal is always to initiate a process that generates income for them by influencing you.

It doesn't matter if the news that is spreading is false, it doesn't matter what the consequences are. If the information generates views and shares, it generates advertising revenue for Facebook, YouTube, etc. A great example of this is when he did not win the next election, but announced that he had won anyway. This is false information.

Artificial intelligence does not care whether the news is true or false. It cares that it can generate a reaction with it, the reaction can spread like wildfire, and the shares generate advertising revenue.

Thus, taking advantage of the market value of information, it activated the tools that allow it to generate as much advertising revenue as possible with the largest possible mass. Incidentally, they broke into the Capitol, but artificial intelligence does not care about that. It cannot be held responsible, because officially it only provides information, the decision is in the hands of the people.

The reason it is important for social media to find as many friends as possible and to share information, personal experiences, or events with them on Facebook or other social networking sites is that it better understands your motivational points, which it can later use to manipulate you. In addition, the more people it attracts to its information system through you, the more useful information it has and the more it perfects its manipulative ability.

If necessary, it will activate you with sad and shocking things, thereby generating even more advertising revenue. If necessary, it generates advertising revenue through you by watching environmental pollution, demonstrations and shocking events, wars. If necessary, it offers you as a friend someone you haven't seen for a thousand years, through whom it can stimulate even more of your sensitive points, prompting you to click, like, and thereby generate advertising revenue.

It doesn't care what you think or what you believe in. It is only interested in finding out as much information as possible about how to manipulate you. This can be a Bible quote, a beautiful song, anything. It can be a scandal, news, stock market, politics. You can listen to sermons all day long, it doesn't care, as long as there are ads in front of it. You can advertise the end of the world, liberalism, or anything else, it doesn't care, as long as more people see its ads.

What is the solution?

I consider myself a Christian, and I have websites, Facebook profiles, and YouTube channels, like many other Christian and non-Christian people. I use these things and will continue to use them in the future.

The first and most important thing is to use social media responsibly. Do not share any confidential information publicly in public groups, do not have people who are fellow believers but not closely related to you marked as friends. Do not help either artificial intelligence or hackers to get information about you.

The second thing is not to jump on every news immediately, do not press the like and share buttons. Do not automatically believe what you see and read. All this is only because they are examining your reactions and looking for sensitive points with which they can later activate you as an obedient servant generating advertising revenue.

The third thing is, if you use artificial intelligence for research, keep in mind that it cannot distinguish between good and evil, truth and falsehood. It seeks an answer to your question, and from the information, it finds what has more confirmation to be correct. If most of the information is false because most people know it incorrectly, then artificial intelligence will consider it credible.

Artificial intelligence can rephrase a draft, even in the style of a famous writer, or expand and rephrase it according to the stylistic elements of a given genre. It can complete months of research in minutes, write programs. But knowledge, all the available information in the world that artificial intelligence has, cannot replace wisdom, conscience, aesthetic sense, or good intentions.
