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.

We already see this: actual right wing political advertisements using AI and Twitter is full of the shit. It’s legitimately easier to trick conservatives with the slop.
