[AI appropriation is super messed up. In addition to Lakotaman'ing, non-Native people are learning (false) Native culture and history from fake sources that completely drowns out real Native voices.]

Native Americans have worked hard for decades to counter the stereotypes perpetuated in old movies and television shows about the American West. Now a new generation of Native technology experts worry that AI is eroding that work.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?

John Martin, aka Lakotaman, has over 515,000 followers on X, but he is infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

@DoomsdaysCW @Yehuda That quote alone:

Dude, The FBI didn't exist yet back then.
