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.

People are already manipulating historical figures in what they say, to make them aligned with whatever ideals and beliefs one has politically in modern times.

Once AI generation is advanced enough to actually manipulate video from historical periods, people are going to do that too. They'll probably try making Hitler seem friendlier.

Whatever baffling bullshit scheme people have.
