It's hard to unsee these articles, isn't it?

Although I know it's AI generated nonsense (although fun to read), it's as if parts of my brain believe it's for real, and want to update themselves based on it.

Almost a bit scary. I cannot read the texts, without a feeling that I get affected by them. — The brain lacks a `--dry-run` flag?

In the future: People will read AI generated nonsense, it'll change their worldview, and once they learn that what they read was AI nonsense — their brain & beliefs have been altered already, no undo.

(It's like that already, with ordinary news (or "news") media, but now with AI, this can be mass produced)

Perhaps this will cause people to think for themselves more. There will be no zeitgeist at all as there will be so many diverging AI generated beleifs. Then again, people said the same thing about the internet. But perhaps there still isn't enough diverse thought on the internet, just enough to force people into their own echochambers. Maybe AI (ML, DL, whatever) will force people out of these chambers somehow.

Seems more likely that people will think whatever the best-funded and operated LLMs tell them to believe.

This is a good point. More and more people will unknowingly encounter AI content and then feel disconcerted when learning of that fact. It seems likely that it will lead to a general distrust of the technology, insofar as the AI content contains falsehoods.

I suspect we'll see new developments in systems and policies relating to provenance.
