Instead of having to carefully buy off people, buy influence, run campaigns and so on (which we have seen even the richest man on the planet directly fail at), you can, in theory, just go into the back end of the LLM and get it to output views more favourable to your POV.This isn't theory or conspiracy theory, note, we can see this having happened with Grok literally in the last few days, when it declared itself "MechaHitler" and so on.If most people start getting most of their information from LLMs, especially if it's a small number of LLMs all essentially based out of the US and all owned by billionaires with relatively similar ideas (i.e. leaning hard technocratic, anti-democratic), then it'll be incredibly easy to control what people believe is true, as most people don't exactly work hard to establish facts.It helps that cameras exist and are everywhere, but part of the reason AI video (which is thankfully still trash) is being pushed so hard is an attempt to be able to undermine them and spew FUD about even direct footage of events.</blockquote>
