It's funny how every few months there's a new malicious usecase that AI proponents cast unreasonable amounts of doubt onto, then the problem becomes widely recognized, and AI proponents just move onto the next bastion of "ya but is this obvious malicious use case of my favored technology REALLY happening?"

Gigantic bot farms taking over social media

Non-consensual sexual imagery generation (including of children)

LLM-induced psychosis and violence

Job and college application plagiarism/fraud (??)

News publications churning out slop

Scams of the elderly

So don't worry: in a few months we can come back to this thread and return fraud will be recognized to have been supercharged by generative AI. But then we can have the same conversation about like insurance fraud or some other malicious use case that there's obvious latent demand for, and new capability for AI models to satisfy that latent demand at far lower complexity and cost than ever before.

Then we can question whether basic mechanics of supply and demand don't apply to malicious use cases of favored technology for some reason.
