Thanks for calling these things out. I didn't see at first glance how language models could be disruptive in these fashions. I am doing research for an article on the decline of civilization. I think that this topic could be a partly related to this topic. Any resources you can point to will probably help all of us.

I would like to read the article.

Unfortunately I don't really know of resources to point you to. These are mostly my thoughts. Most probably though influenced by a diet of sci-fi. I can however expand on them.

For somewhat recent and relevant content check The Orville S03E04. At the time it was just a critique of fake news but I think it is correct about what can happen if AI makes fake news easy to scale infinitely and with very low barriers to entry.

I think presently worrying about Sentient AI is misguided because Generative AI is equally serious and much more urgent. There is no need of further advancement. What I said is possible with current AIs already.

If I ever finish it, I can let you know about it somehow. I'm currently using the material for a science fiction story, but eventually I am going to want to write an article about what I learned. If you want to drop me your contact details, you can reach out to me on my hacker news profile and I will send you details if an when its finished.
