Gpt plus langchain agents is quite scary It will use every tool you give it to reach the goal you give him. It will try forever if needed. I bet state actor are already plugging in tooling to register social account and automate credible propaganda. Maybe not with gpt itself, but privately hosted fine tuned models. This can win elections. You can plug wordpress and build infinite blogs with infinite post with the unique scope of building mass around a topic. This can alter Wikipedia, many people don't ever check sources and take it at face value. You can not only build fake research paper, but fake the whole research team and their whole interactions with the community and investor. This can fraud millions. Tools enable this today.

Humans have been doing all of this and more, for a very long time. This simply exposes all of the cracks in the foundations of our society. There are severely exploitable issues, and we may wind up with a planet-level chaos monkey. Ghostbusters had the stay-puft marshmallow man. Will the form of our destroyer be the woot monkey?

  Yes it was possible. Steel was also available before the industrial revolution... but guess what, it's called a revolution for reason? It become cheap enough to upend preexisting social status quo. It was a social phase transition caused by technology. We're dealing with a very nascent AI revolution right now. A social phase transition has already started: on the forefront there are graphic artists (midjourney v5 is literally revolutionizing the industry as we speak) and NLP researchers (GPT-4 has reduced the need for applied NLP to basically zero), but it's only a start. The cheapness and availability changes everything.

    Except this isn’t a revolution. Think bigger. The industry was a joke prior to this. No offense.
