I read an article about the paper in Astral Codex Ten. LLMs have obvious applications in businesses, where the rules would be about how to handle customer requests for things that would normally require talking to a human. It remains to be seen how well this works. But obviously you don't want to offend customers or embarrass the company. Businesses are best off not taking any political positions.
LLMs are still experimental at this point, but will have enormous power to control social media content for the benefit of both government and corporations. This is a dangerous trend. Young people are leaving Facebook, which is about connecting with people in real life, and joining TikTok, which is more about addictive entertainment. It's part of the general trend toward AI isolating us and making us irrelevant. When AI surpasses human intelligence, we prefer its company. When you no longer care about other people, they won't care about you.
