My humble prediction is that this will happen regardless of AI quality improvements. People imagine socialist scifi scenarios with crystal balls on green lawns telling them how to build spaceships. But reality will organically grow from where we are now:
Attention and profiling is money and power.
AI will steal attention by spamming identities, voting for/against products and opinions, discriminating in ways hard to reveal, at scale never seen before. It will read all your HN comments and clip a tag onto your ear. AI war will not be a T1000 walking on skulls, it will happen in our feeds, and platforms/governments will have no idea who’s artificial or russian this time.
Honestly it’s pretty concerning when I think about what can be done with the internet and societies by bad actors automating and weaponizing existing chatgpt and pic/video tech alone.
