Eh, it misses the problem entirely. No person needs ChatGPT to say that "gays are bad" or how to make a pipe bomb for them to do some harm. If they want to try to do harm they simply will. What large language models enable, on scale, is the effortless flooding of the public space with a very large amount of information. It's a cost issue, previously people like Prighozin had to employ an army of trolls in their "internet research agencies" and pay them, say, $5 per hour. ChatGPT will do the same amount of work, and probably better at $0.1. The models are also conveniently natively multilingual, allowing direct operations in any informational environment. The messages can be benign, they can derail discussions, flood the space with contradicting statements about banale issues, make people too tired to have a conversation with one another, resulting in depoliticization the likes of which we see in modern Russia. This is the beginning of the end of public discussion on the internet. This also includes HN.
