What's hopefully obvious to people now is this: it's now possible to do what 1984 described.
Worse? People in power actively want to do that in the name of "harm reduction" or "reducing bias" or whatever.
Seems inevitable at this point.

There is a good chance that the initial wide scale impact of LLM-generated fabrications will be for the purposes of harm increase and increasing bias.
