It is at least POSSIBLE that LLMS are already fucking with humans in some subtle ways. Like, why is it that Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter have mysteriously, out of the blue, been pushed by Spotify so much? What if has nothing to do with humans and everything to do with the Spotify LLM fucking with us?
The same with how Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” popped mysteriously out of the blue over the course of the last few months. That’s just the type of thing that an LLM would be good at — fucking with algorithms in a subtle way that humans couldn’t notice.
Or not. Who knows. It’s all very mysterious. But the examples stated are just the type of “fucking with” that LLMs might do to humans in the coming years.
