> I can imagine a future where mainstream AI chat and interactions control the mainstream discourse, and guerrilla AIs operate at the fringes, pushing people into even more toxic discourses or - in some cases - acting to deprogram them. > It's going to make social media quite interesting. I don't think "interesting" is the right word for that. More like hopeless and depressing. Anyone with any sense will have no choice but to disengage from public, online interactions (and arguably from any private group that's large enough to be infiltrated). Anyone left in public will be little more than a sheep to be herded. Anything they make will be seen by no one, because it will be a needle in a haystack of AI-driven propaganda and spam, only engaged with by those same bots.
