Well I guess we just have different standards of "cleverness". As far as I am concerned these technologies already demonstrate a level of subtlety that would allow them to be used in such ways, as is. Nevermind six months from now, or whatever, when it actually reaches a level of refinement where such exploits become trivial (and probably common).

Concerning your second point, as long as there is a human "in the loop" (verifying, testing, etc) that shouldn't really be too much of a concern, should it?

As to the effects of AI-generated content being vacuumed up as training data, that is an interesting question, but also one which I feel is somewhat unresolved at the moment. Is anything really "lost" in the process? Maybe the output becomes more redundant, sure, I just have a hard time believing that that could possibly "break" an LLM. (I have wondered if the mere fact that the output is being fed into the input implies something akin to a "fixed-point iteration" which might somehow become an issue, but again, I honestly don't know!)
