It really is making more and more sense why the ruling class is going all in on this stuff. This allows for social control they could only dream of in the past.

Yeah I'm starting to think it's their solution to internet censorship. They can't control it the way they can with cable television or newspapers. So they've decided if they can't filter information, why not flood the internet using LLMs and AI images? Then people won't believe anything they see, forcing then to rely on "credible" journalists for the news.

I noticed it first at work, before any LLMs came out even, that "who said that" / "Where is that information coming from" would get a a surprisingly set of people very mad and then tell me "they heard it somewhere". And this wasn't rumours or whatever where you wouldn't want to disclose your CI, this was like "Well I heard company policy is X" and that was to be treated like gospel, even if the source of this was "I think I remember somebody telling me this at unknown point in time"
