As others have argued, the most imminent political risk of AI isn’t so much the creation of more sophisticated disinfo, but fostering a climate where anything might be fake, therefore you have permission to believe whatever you find emotionally satisfying.

Sadly that environment already exists right now. AI will just take advantage of it.

Well, sure. MAGA is pretty much at the point of Orwell's “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." So the AI lie is basically noise level for them.

“AI” is going to come to mean “thing I didn’t like” in Trump speech, the same way “fake” does right now in his usage of “fake news” for “statement made about me that I didn’t like”.

Not so much emotionally satisfying as deliberately fake to deceive Americans and take their money from them as well as stripping ‘immigrants’ of their rights and financial capacities.

Like, the disinformation of the last ten years worked just fine. If there's someone out there who said "I thought this article blaming COVID on George Soros made some good points but it messed up the pluperfect tense so I know it was a bot," we might lose them now! I don't think they exist, though.

In fairness, MAGA has already been doing that for 8 years now, where anything they don't like is just "fake news."

I think readers of newspapers had reached that point in the 1930s, at least that's how Orson Welles told it when explaining the WOTW stunt.
