If we allow the far-right to continue merging political power with AI without guardrails, we will see the rise of a system where freedom is algorithmically rationed.
A potential strategy for using it for good would be dealing with the problem of comparitive effort to spread and debunk bullshit. It takes very little effort to spread bullshit. It takes a lot of effort to debunk it.
An LLM doesn’t need to worry about effort. It can happily chug away debunking bullshit all day long, at least, if you ignore the problem of them not being able to reason, and the other ongoing problems with LLMs. But there is potential for it being a part of the solution here.

Ooh that’s clever, I’m going to start doing that.
