I'm guessing this was probably accidental/weird consequence, but it does raise a much scarier possibility. If someone wanted to set AI models out against people as a reputational attack dog (automating all sorts of vicious things like deep fakes and malicious rumors across sockpuppet accounts..) I mean, are there really any significant obstacles or ways to fight back? Right now slop is (mostly) impersonal, but you could easily imagine focussed slop that's done so persistently that it's nearly it's nearly impossible to stop. Obsessive stalker types have a pretty creepy weapon now.
