What kind of hate speech could you possibly generate with ChatGPT that doesn't already exist in the wild, free to copy and spread?

The real answer is nobody cares that you can generate it with ChatGPT (as you can generate it manually by hand). What people are up in arms about is that an "AI" saying it gives "legitimacy" to the views. Tai was just something that repeated what people said to it; ChatGPT does basically the same but more advanced, so if you ask it "how do you solve poverty" and it barfs out something horribly racist, people misinterpret that as being "supportive" scientifically somehow.

Easy... have you ever been called a 2 in binary!?

Automated radicalization of Twitter, or Reddit, or HN, or Wikipedia. The sophisticated bad actor won’t generate straight-up hate speech that will just get filtered/blocked. They will be master of ten thousand bot accounts that work slowly to build up a plausibly innocuous posting history (including holding realistic conversations either between themselves or with real users), then start subtly manipulating conversations towards a predetermined political end. Basically everything that political troll farms and media do already, but automated on a massive scale. Where’s the automated defence against this?

  I think the defence against this is invite only forums or just closed forums where everyone knows each other. I cant see large open forums surviving, between automated human like advertising and political account farms people with real opinions will be in the extreme minority.

  It's already happening and doesn't hurt anyone. Look at r/politics: it's full of hate, comments section looks like it's written by GPT-0.5beta, and yes, they try to steer discussion towards a predetermined political end. Do you need the automated defense against it?
