There are some major differences though. Without using these tools, individual are pretty limited in how much bullshit they can output for many reasons, including they are not mere digital puppet without need to survive in society.
It’s clear pro-slavery-minded elitists are happy to sell the speech that people should become "good complement to AI", that is even more disposable as this puppets. But unlike this mindless entities, people have will to survive deeply engraved as primary behavior.
Humans can output serious amounts of unproven bullshit, e.g., 3000 incompatible gods and all the religions that come with them...
Sure, but that’s not raw individual output on its mere direct utterance capacities.
Now anyone mildly capable of using a computer is able to produce many more fictional characters than all that humanity collectively kept in its miscellaneous lores, and drawn them in an ocean of insipid narratives. All that nonetheless mostly passing all the grammatical checkboxes at a level most humans would fail (I definitely would :D).
How many individuals were involved and over how many years?
Why does it matter? If you consider not just the people creating these hallucination, but also the people accepting them and using them, it must be billions and billions...
