I appreciate the “this is evil” analysis, but I have a different take on it: Packaging this capability for everyday people is exactly what we need to get widespread understanding of what is being done to them, and begin to build social defenses. Political parties, corporations, and all kinds of bad actors are doing this stuff all the time. People need to find ways to externally validate their realities. I don’t see any way that can happen besides widespread adoption of consumer psyops tools. It feels like Pandora’s Box has been opened, and we need to get comfy with the monsters as a first step, if we are to subdue them.
