A lot of these look like very big stretches. Most of the things you've listed are either already being done by humans or is something that an LLM simply can't improve upon. Even if you had the best writers and most complex AI in the world, you can't really sugarcoat a gas chamber past a certain point.

Fake writings and fake imagery are already easily created by humans, but as far as I know, it's not practiced widely because it's known that you can't easily trust wild claims if it's not backed by real people. Digital image editing opened up the doors to creating any type of misleading imagery, but nothing has really changed since then.

And I have no idea how any of the "all IPs from Russia" or "scan everything on the internet" could even work. If the US government has infrastructure that can scan for this kind of info, they don't need AI to use it. If they don't, well.. an LLM isn't gonna magically make every bit of internet traffic accessible to them.

XKEYSCORE[1] probes were already a thing in ~2010. It just needs a LLM integration and additional search capabilities.
