Honestly I hope the LLM-powered bots will be hugely beneficial for the online discourse in the long term (and keep creating mayhem in the short-term).

My hope is that long-term people will realize that most of the arguments and outrage they see online is manufactured to boost engagement and simply start ignoring it or seeking private invite-only forums to discuss things.

People mostly failed to realize this when humans controlled fake/bot/troll accounts, but with the proliferation of LLMs the realization is spreading much faster.

I know it sounds naive, but that's my hope - that the global village will once again become local instead.
