I was just thinking the other day how ai will be way worse than social media in terms of influencing people. Before though I was thinking of times people have been convinced by chat bots they were god or a genius.

Social media was so powerful because it convinced people their world view was popular and correct even if it definitely wasn’t, but at least then it was actually happening somewhere. This is just completely made up, to feed into people’s world view, and they don’t even have to find the perfect figure they can make one up.

We’re definitely going to suffer a lot before it gets better. Interesting times we’re living in.

It was definitely often made up before as well, just by rooms with 100s of humans working full time.
