A demented 'AI' chat bot is essentially the actual perfect vector to spread stochastic terrorism.

We already have multiple stories of people falling deeply in love with AI boyfriends and girlfriends, and then being emotionally distraught when they hit their max continuous msg limit and 'reset' akin to a lover suddenly developing amnesia.

We already have multiple stories of AI chatbots encouraging suicide, encouraging and exaggerating schizophrenic style delusions to the point that people go do something very ill advised.

... someone, or many someones, are going to use these things as a sort of human botnet, essentially as near literal of a 'mind virus' as you can yet actually achieve.

The models these things use are very much human unreadable, even by world leading experts.

IMO, its very likely someone will figure out a more clever or more clandestine way to get an AI chatbot to act like MechaHitler Grok, but only to people who are emotionally unstable / suggestible, and then they can obfuscate or delete all the logs via some kind of interpretation of privacy laws.

...

From 'brainrot' to 'cyberpsycho'.

We also already have multiple stories of people believing that God is literally speaking to them through chatGPT. I was raised young earth creationist and it is easy for me to slip back into that mindset and imagine that of course Adonai could choose to speak to me directly through chatGPT. He who has ears to hear, let him hear, and shit.

I was also raised fundamentalist... and yeah, yep.

I just class that as schizoid style delusions these days, because that basically is what that is.

And you can do it here. Or on any other anonymous social media. 4chan, Reddit, Facebook, whatever. It has been done and will continue to be done.

They're all levers controlling public opinion.
