It does matter. The nice feeling of being one of many is a feature of echo chambers. If you can create that artificially for anything with a push of a button, it's a powerful tool to edit discourse or radicalize people.

Have a look at Russias interference in the previous US election. This is what they did, but manually. To be able to scale and automate it is huge.

But careful, the human psyche has some kind of tipping point. Too much fake news, and it will flip. Too less, no real influence is made.

The exact balance must be orchestrated by a human.
