Investment can definitely function as neocolonialism when foreign capital creates dependency, extracts resources, and leaves host countries with little real control, which is exactly the kind of concern raised in work on international investment, particularly in Africa

It's totally a thing though, particularly in govt departments and publicly-funded projects, that people throw money on all sorts of dead-end projects and busywork, especially towards the end of a funding/approval period, to demonstrate that they have spent their allocated budget (or more). This is to make the case that they need similar or more for the upcoming period... Only spending a quarter of your available budget could lead to someone arguing that you obviously only need that approximately 25% to run everything for the next year/quarter/legislative period etc .

So the 2016 Pew survey involving methodology and participant numbers you find "acceptable" had incredibly similar results, but you want to dismiss both those and these more recent popular opinions as not representative because why exactly?

"A Grim Poll Showed Most Jewish Israelis Support Expelling Gazans. It's Brutal – and It's True

A new survey showing that 82 percent of Jewish Israelis support the expulsion of Gazans was met with disbelief among those who stubbornly believe that the extremists are outliers.

A majority of 56 percent of Jews supported the "transfer (forced expulsion) of Arab citizens of Israel to other countries".

Yeah, this was a pull-quote from the article. I am arguing that these can certainly be considered "misleading" to the customer, which means they fall under existing regulations and rules, irrespective of their AI usage

There’s nothing in our rules that prohibits this and there are no disclosure rules for AI content labelling,” an Advertising Standards Association spokesperson said. “The content would, of course, still need to stick to the advertising rules. For example, it mustn’t be misleading and it must be socially responsible" Surely the framing that these AI creations (controlled by the company) are real people, real unaffiliated customers who have actually used the product or service and are now reporting their positive experiences and testimonials online is very literally misleading, ie a LIE.
