Correction: consumer grade machine-extruded text will be watermarked.
Machine-extruded text generation controlled by government entities, fascist regime propaganda outlets, capitalist interests and basically anyone else with a ton of money will be welcome to bulldoze venues of public debate with as much un-watermarked thought-slop as they care to generate that will be virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
Imagine layers of public influence campaigns, all conjured by LLMs, with agents A/B testing rhetoric constantly for success and efficacy.
