FUCKING THANK YOU!
I have been trying to get people to understand that the danger of AI isn't some deviantart pngtuber not getting royalties for their Darkererer Sanic OC, but the fact that AI can appear like any other person on the internet, can engage from multiple accounts, and has access to their near entire web history and can make 20 believable scenarios absolutely catered to every weakness in that person's psychology.
I'm glad your post is getting at least some traffic, but even then it's not gonna be enough.
The people that understand the danger have no power to stop it, the people with the power to stop it are profiting off of it and won't stop unless pressured.
And we can't pressure them if we are arguing art rights and shitposting constantly.
We need to make it simpler and connect the dots. Like, what's the worst that could happen when billionaires have exclusive control over a for-profit infinite gaslighting machine? This needs to be spelled out.
I'm writing a short horror story that will at least illustrate what I see is the problem. That's a form that can be easier to digest
