LLMs have the potential to be one of the most toxic technologies in human history.
Sexist etc content is a footnote compared to the potential for an automated, proven, and tuneable technology of mass persuasion and impersonation.
So - massively addictive adtech. Reliable and effective political and ideological propaganda. Bot farms and "credible" fake media content produced at scale.
Imagine those being used against a relatively defenceless population to creative division, undermine personal and collective confidence, and encourage stochastic terrorism and other kinds of violence.
