IMO the issue with hate speech is tools like Facebook and twitter that allow it to be broadcast to hundreds of millions of people at once.
Slightly increasing the efficiency at at which the hate speech can be written is drops in the ocean compared to that.
- falcolas 4y agoA specific example: one person works with H8-GPT using a list of 1000 subreddits to tailor misogynistic messages to each subreddit at a rate of 20 posts per subreddit every day. Automated cross posting detectors wont work against such messages, meaning human moderators would have to work a lot harder to stop the output of one person. And there would be more than one person. You could effectively destroy thousands of forums with very few people this way.

The investment required to pull that off at scale would be non-trivial (I'm not talking millions, but tens of thousands let's say). You can pay kids in India to make up a LOT of dumb shit on Reddit for that kind of money. At best, it's a linear increase in the problem. Not exponential like social-media
