How about swarms of autonomous agents, such as AutoGPT, maybe thousands per human eventually, amassing karma points on all forums, including this one?
I can see in a few years each human being surrounded by a ton of LLM agents, "shepherding" their views, downvoting their messages or distracting them with argumentative conversations if they don't conform, and facilitating reputational attacks on scale on all the people whose speech is recognized as being contrary to what's desired.
Of course, there wouldn't be just one group deploying these swarms. It would be lots of different groups, akin to slaughterbots video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-2tpwW0kmU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-2tpwW0kmU
The difference is that there wouldn't be physical violence, it would just gradually turn the entire Internet into a dark forest.
