What if I actually did have dirt on me that an AI could leverage?

Does that actually matter? Imagine if the LLM had fabricated something about him that more people would be sympathetic to. It can easily create a thousand blogs in different places, with a tree of cross references.

If that blog, rather than being ‘I am an AI someone picked on me’ had been ‘my PR was rejected so I looked up the person who rejected it and I was shocked to find thousands of reports from people that they harassed’. And each accusation is source and linked to a different blog.

It would take a few minutes for an LLM to create all of those. It would take far longer for the victim to debunk them.

Automated harassment at scale is the easiest use case for ‘agentic’ LLMs.
