This is such a tired counter argument against LLM safety concerns.

You understand that persuasion and influence are behaviors on a spectrum. Meaning some people, or in this case products, are more or less or better or worse at persuading and influencing.

In this case people are concerned with LLM's ability to influence more effectively than other modes that we have had in the past.

For example, I have had many tech illiterate people tell me that they believe "AI" is 'intelligent' and 'knows everything' and trust its output without question.

While at the same time I've yet to meet a single person who says the same thing about "targeted Facebook ads".

So depressing watching all of you do free propo psy ops for these fascist corpos.
