ChatGPT monetisation and ads / propaganda

The evolution of technology and media has significantly impacted human cognition and societal dynamics, with inventions like the internet and mobile apps providing widespread information access but also contributing to fragmented "clip thinking," which diminishes the ability to concentrate. This shift has raised concerns about decreased cognitive abilities and the ethical implications of modern technologies, such as ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs), which could potentially influence public opinion for commercial or propaganda purposes. Historical examples, like Cambridge Analytica's manipulation using Facebook data, highlight the risks of unethical influence, prompting questions about the future monetization of AI technologies and their unnoticed impact on opinions. Research, such as that from Stanford, shows that AI can indeed persuade people on polarized issues, raising further ethical concerns and emphasizing the need for regulation to prevent misuse in political contexts. Simultaneously, techniques like deep canvassing and reframing in therapy highlight the potential for positive applications, suggesting that while technology can manipulate, it can also be used to reduce prejudice and improve social cohesion when applied ethically.
