I agree with some of the points in the main essay like distribution beings one of the major bottlenecks, but I think the essay isn't covering some ways a combination of these technologies could be used to spread misinformation. Here are some examples:
1. Consider a real-time conversational agent like the one in the game, but it's used to scam people into giving out their sensitive information. A system like *GPT could then be used to parse out the information from the conversation. Now when you imagine this at scale, the implications are much more serious, specially for the more tech-illiterate crowd
2. A Twitter bot that automatically responds to people with realistic-sounding counterpoints and fake citations regarding conspiracy theories, etc. This can provide a lot of steam to dangerous misinformation campaigns
These are just some basic examples of the ways these systems can be used for dis- and misinformation online and a large portion of the world is not ready to understand it, IMO
