I wrote this in a few other places, but this is a long foregone state of affairs. People's attention spans are already fully saturated, bloating the internet with a bunch of variations of the same crap isn't going to do anything that isn't already happening today. I don't need to generate a hundred million times what I can simply post once to a hundred million people.

This is already possible and happening (e.g. CSAM scanning). The crux of my point is that LLMs really aren't that big of a deal compared to the panopticon society that we've already built. The agents of the authoritarian control platform aren't going to become 10x more spooky because they installed a language model plugin.
