> Therefore, increasing proportions of people consuming text online will be unwittingly mind-controlled by LLMs and their handlers. The "and their handlers" part is the part I find frightening. I would actually be less concerned if the AIs were autonomous. Reminds me of a random podcast I heard once where someone was asked: "if you woke up in the middle of the night and saw either a random guy or a grey alien in your bedroom, which would scare you more?" The person being interviewed said the dude, and I 100% agree. AI as proxy for oligarchs is much scarier than autonomous alien AI.
