I just don’t see how it’s going to be significantly worse than existing troll farms etc. This prediction appears significantly overblown to me.

Does it really? You thinking LLM-powered propaganda distribution services can't out-scale existing troll farms? Or do a better job of evading spam filters?

No I’m thinking that scaling trolls up has diminishing returns and we’re already peak troll.
