I predicted something like this would happen back in 2020 after seeing the GPT-3 output, I'm kind of surprised it's taking this long, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of reddit etc end up approximating this. The idea of internet commentary might get weird if its easy to flood the world with "kinda human [but also secretly has your opinions that you want to softly push]" comments. > Will the average person be influenced? If advertising and the idea of saying something over and over works, and words are free, and you can GPT-3 your hand-rolled (or state authorized) propaganda every day in every comment thread in every forum to look like an average person is advocating for X, will other average people be more convinced of X? my somewhat hasty notes, then: https://simonsarris.com/commentdammerung/ https://simonsarris.com/commentdammerung/
