Im sure plenty of these already exist
You don't need AI for this, you just need to pay some Russians in vodka and fuzzy hats, Trump learned that years ago.
this is insane. why can't we vote for them not to be able to do this? isn't this a democracy?
Whose deepfake influencers do you "trust" more? US, China, russia and a few lesser players are already working to control the information space / spread propaganda (note: not necessarily lies, but there is typically a focus or spin) far and wide.
We know people are highly influenced by propaganda (some more than others, but all of us are) and that quantity and repetition plays a role. Since this is now an established battlefield, I'd like our (western) defences to be strong.
It has potential for abuse, certainly. That's par for the course. There is also the potential for it to be used to debunk fake news, shock people out of false beliefs, and help reconnect people to reality. Let's see how this plays out. popcorn time

Hah. I hadn't seen that article / heard of the theory, but as far as crackpot theories/hypotheses go, it's one of the more likely. I doubt it's the majority yet, personally.
It was already obvious that propaganda news articles (on obscure websites) had orchestrated releases and promotion on social media, in a massive circle jerk, and I assumed machine generated/assisted content was involved. Then ChatGPT hit the headlines and we all had the power.
So they can save money by firing their army of nafo meat puppets?
well if they do this, then they're contributing to the poisoning of LLMs which may be a good or bad thing depending on your usage of chatgpt services
