Disagree, no one's going to invite me to their kids birthday party via ChatGPT. It's innovation was in ads knowing so much about the people it targeted, and putting tracking pixels on every webpage with a Like button. Facebook was transformative for online surveillance
IMO LLMs will be equally transformative for online influence campaigns (aka ads + Cambridge analytica on steroids)
People are definitely going to be sending you AI generated birthday invite posters soon.
Oh and yeah, AI has already been shown to be more persuasive than the average human. It's only a matter of time before someone's paying to decide what it persuades you of
If only there were some way to avoid this persuasion by, I don't know, not using or relying on such controlled technology, or by not buying in to the hype of all the companies with vested interests in selling it

Agreed, just because something is useful for helpful doesn’t mean it’s easy to monetize.
