But learning to be deceptive when being taught a game that requires deception is not in any way related to spreading misinformation on social networks.
LLMs can create misinformation to spread on social networks if the people using them ask them to.
LLM bots can spread that misinformation without direct human control if they are programmed to do so.
LLMs cannot be taught to play poker, and then use their newfound understanding of deception to go out and spread misinformation of their own volition, because they have neither understanding nor volition.

Similarly to how Facebook don't necessarily want to promote political extremism, conspiracy theories or teenage girls killing themselves, but are nonetheless driving these developments as a byproduct of following their business incentives.
