There’s plenty of new ways you could use chatgpt to mess with society. For example, apparently you only need 8% of people to be talking about something for it to seem like a mass movement. It would be pretty easy for a malicious actor to use LLMs to flood the internet with some new - but fake - story or motivated point of view and kickstart a “mass movement” that way. Or use something like that to heavily influence politics. That might already be happening. We have no idea.
- RandomLensman 3y agoIt would also be easy for a benevolent actor to counter-flood etc.
- josephg 3y agoSure; but multiple AI generated "mass movements" don't cancel each other out.
- RandomLensman 3y agoWho knows? We never had a world with a huge supply of mass movement attachment points.
