No that's a very very bad thing. The ones in charge will have not just few bots but entire bot farms.

Nobody will know what to believe.

people already don't know what to believe. Look at people who think the election was stolen, or Dr. Fauci is a criminal. Or basic things like what a woman is and the difference between the genders. Social media has already put us in a softcore mass psychosis.

Fauci suggested aids was transmitted via normal contact on television you can see the videos of him saying it on youtube. Gain of function research in Wuhan, that was in large part due to him, is almost certainly what caused the epidemic based on the latest evidence.

So yeah I would agree a lot of people are suffering from mass psychosis.

No Trump is a complete moron who more than likely belongs in prison. I'm for universal healthcare. You're in a cult just like the Trump worshipers, you just don't realize it.

It works both ways - to generate bullshit, and to estimate the social impact. In a recent paper researchers prompted GPT-3 with detailed persona descriptions. Then they asked a bunch of questions, like in a phone poll. They discovered that GPT-3 has detailed knowledge of the biases and likely responses of various populations and can estimate the real poll.

> Researchers with Brigham Young University have written a paper which I think is among the most significant things I’ve ever covered in this newsletter. Specifically, they do three social science experiments on GPT-3 and discover that GPT-3 has biases that are “fine-grained and demographically correlated, meaning that proper conditioning will cause it to accurately emulate response distributions from a wide variety of human subgroups.”

Soon, every influencer, politician, activist or busy body will optimise their messages before posting to attain maximum damage. All they need is to profile the target population and select the right personas for GPT-3.
