I agree with the general bent of this article that the claims about LLMs are overhyped and that the risks are more banal, but: > The letter refers to a common claim: LLMs will lead to a flood of propaganda since they give malicious actors the tools to automate the creation of disinformation. But as we've argued, creating disinformation is not enough to spread it. Distributing disinformation is the hard part. Open-source LLMs powerful enough to generate disinformation have also been around for a while; we haven't seen prominent uses of these LLMs for spreading disinfo. I expect we are seeing LLMs spreading disinfo already, and that they're going to ramp up soon, we just don't know about it because those spreading disinfo would prefer to do it quietly and refine their methods and don't announce to the world that they're spreading disinfo. It is also most likely happening domestically (in the US) which is something that we don't hear much about at all (it is all "look over there at the Russian Troll Farms").
