I believe that because Reddit is generally left-leaning and the majority of those users are opposed to AI, we may see a disproportionate rise in AI-generated right-wing content, which could influence public opinion. And the pentagon also showed interest in using LLMs to gaslight people.

Reddit doesn’t matter nearly as much as you think. It’s not going to move the needle appreciably.

Almost all English language text is liberal, meaning capitalist, very little is socialist, virtually none is communist, and quite a lot is anti-communist. So there’s your baked-in political bias for English language models.
