Sure, if you presume organic propaganda is analogous to the level of danger driving within limit.

But a car going into a stroller at 150mph versus 200mph is negligible.

The democratization of generative AI would increase the number of bad agents, but with it would come a better awareness of their tactics; perhaps we push less strollers into the intersections known for drag racing.

I guess when you distort every argument to an absurd you can claim you're right.

I don't follow. Are you saying new and more sophisticated ways to scam people are actually good because we have a unique chance to know how they work ?

It’s not absurd. The bottleneck for additional predation is not the available toolkit, else we’d see a more obvious correlation between a society’s resource endowment and its callousness.

Handwringing over the threat of AI without substantiating an argument beside “enabled volume” is just self-righteousness.

AI isn’t posed to shift the balance of MFA versus phishers in a way that can’t be meaningfully corrected in the short and long term, so using “scamming” as a means to oppose disseminating tech feels reductive at best.

You underestimate the amount of people who don't at all care whether or not their stroller goes splat as long as they're on asphalt they like the feel of.
