Ah, yes -- to expand on this. You know how some countries employee a large number of people to engage on social media platforms. They have to put in enough good content to build up their rank, and then use that high ranking to subtly put out propaganda which would get more visibility due to their user status. But that takes a lot of effort and manpower.
Now take an LLM that you can feed it questions or discussions from sites, have it jump in with what appears to be meaningful content, gets a bunch of "karma", then gradually start putting out the propaganda. It would be a hard item to fight.
I love that whenever one of these threads shows up, someone always appears to suggest that banality and evil are entirely separate from one another, despite the entire history of the 20th century.
I've also read, they're using AI to declassify materials. Humans still make the high level decisions, language models tackle the boring work of reacting text and whatnot.
Luckily, that same LLM can summarize that really really boring report... and, if you ask it to, it'll make it exciting, as well. Maybe too exciting...?!
Not everything is a spy movie
