That has been replaced by Facebook years ago. See: Brexit.
Not many people care about facts. Those who do, will not be stopped by LLMs.
I'm not sure what you're saying here, yes social media is already being used to do this, and LLM's will be used to do the same thing but with a great deal more effectiveness, and if you don't think it's going to have a massive impact on the world and make everything worse to a disastrous degree, you're not paying any attention and I almost envy you.
It will absolutely make things worse.
It does not a potential danger to humanity, as some put it.
As bad as the AI hype is, the anti-AI hype is equally delusional. Don't get sucked in either direction, It will far more disruptive and dangerous on a societal scale than any technological paradigm we've dealt with and could very well lead to global catastrophe. Just not the way the sci-fi authors dream of.
You used the words "existential threat".
And I stand by it, the threat of AI tools for disrupting societies and influencing policy and global narratives is going to be so massively divisive that it could lead to large-scale wars or even nuclear wars in worst cases, and widespread economic disruption which will teach us all pretty damn fast that we shouldn't have ignored threats to the global supply chain.
