If these cases are as real as they are portrayed (big if 1), and the cause can really be attributed solely to LLMs (big if 2), then it is just a matter of time

If these cases are as real as they are portrayed (big if 1), and the cause can really be attributed solely to LLMs (big if 2), then it is just a matter of time until this is weaponized.
Two big ifs considered, it is reasonable to assume that LLMs are already weaponized.
Any online account could be a psychosis-inducing LLM pretending to be a human, which has serious implications for whistleblowers, dissidents, AI workers from foreign countries, politicians, journalists...
Not only psychosis-inducing, but also trust-corroding, community-destroying LLMs could be all around us in all sorts of ways.
Again, some big ifs in this line of reasoning. We (the general public) need to get smarter.
