Remember the pineapple and pizza trend? It's pretty old now, but a lot of people were buying it to try it out because of what people were saying online.
Now that we have very accessible LLM, that same trend can be artificially created with ease. You can dominate entire subreddits with artificial content, and nobody cares as long as it isn't a giant glaring outlier. You can make people think a certain way, act a certain way, buy certain things, just as long as you seem human enough to pass the sniff test and that a large enough group of "people" were doing so.
These opinionated communities will not survive much longer without implementing more severe human ID verification measures. You can bet against that, but I see the writing on the wall in my smaller public communities. They already don't trust much that isn't coming from someone in real time video.
