> Argument 3 I find difficult to understand. Misinformation has existed for a long time, and AI is just one more way of making it (perhaps at scale). You've always been able to claim that your political opponent was a puppy murderer with no basis in reality - the way I see things, AI is just a way of laundering that kind of claim. As someone who is neutral or leaning slightly positive on AI in general, I think misinformation is the biggest cause of concern. The change in scale is worth some concern I think. The ability to gather nearly unlimited information about people and then use that information to generate _bespoke_ propaganda designed to optimally persuade them is a significant shift from the days where a propaganda campaign required a team of experts and a long time to prepare. In that works a targeted propaganda campaign was only reasonable for very high value targets. Now, it can be used for everything from selling pants to convincing people to overthrow their governments. The commoditization of information warfare.
