Notes -
Very much the former -- it's an unabashed propaganda campaign that would be completely unsurprising if it were done conventionally by some government hiring actors etc -- indeed it's in response to just such a campaign by the UK government!
What's interesting about it is that it seems to have been put together in a matter of days, by (as far as anyone knows!) non-state actors with limited resources and strong government operations. (the videos are probably illegal in the UK on the grounds of promoting hate)
So more of a worked example of AI videogens to create impact IRL than anything with much artistic merit. Just as handheld firearms democratized warfare (for a while), maybe publicly available AI (plus social media) will democratize the mobilization of egregores upon the genpop?
