> What would it mean to listen to a politician speak on TV, and in real-time see a rhetorical manoeuvre that masks a persuasive bait and switch?

Why do I suspect the offence will always be ahead of the defence in these areas?

I'd earlier suggested that everyone, in elementary school, ought to watch Ancient Aliens and attempt to note the moment where each episode jumps the shark. I take it we could attempt this with LLMs, now?

because destroying is easier than creating/entropy increases over time?

The only solution I can see is working on turning bad actors into good actors, or another way: positive reinforcement cycles.

No idea what that would look like with regard to LLMs though.


At the end of the day there is no permanent solution.

In nature we typically don't see something 'win' and that's the end of the story. I mean yes things do go extinct, but the winner always has something new to deal with. Could be a more advanced predator eating all it's food sources. Could be a bacteria that it's not resistant to. Simply put, when there's entropy on the table, something is going to evolve to take it with the least amount of work possible.
