What could be real uses of AI (llm, or generative) for anarchist organizations ?
Is there any ?
So far I didn’t come for any AI use except for some fun with creating images, or text. It just gives junk data most of the time.
But are there some real life uses that showed beneficial ?

Just some things off the top of my head
Someone posted here recently on using tools to anonymize faces in the protest without being obvious about it, by face-swapping them. GenAI can do this easily.
For orgs with little resources, GenAI could help making more eye-catching flyers and posters but it needs to be counter-balanced by the risk of being labeled as “AI slop”.
LLM tools can be used to detect and counter spam and shock campaigns in our social media.
Anonymize faces
Oh i really don’t trust that
Flagging likely cops, though; maaaaybe,
Oh i really don’t trust that
Why not?
Face recognition might be usable to spot agent provocateurs at protests but can be a double edged sword.
LLMs seem pretty useless to me and generative content AI seems to have very little utility as others here already said.

I’m extremely skeptical that facial recognition would be better at this task than a group of trained humans (although I’m personally terrible at faces 😆). Existing facial recognition software is trained on datasets that reinforce existing oppressive biases, so you’d probably have to train from scratch on a fresh dataset or do some extremely careful transfer learning to even begin to get anything useful. (IMO getting a sufficient dataset is the hard part since you can do basic facial recognition with an eigenvalue decomposition on any computer.)
This is silly. Anarchist organizations are not different to any other organizations with respect to any data processing algorithms. AI is no different from other data processing algorithms with respect to any organizations save those selling AI.
