We all know websites that have sizeable communities are targeted by different groups to try and dominate discussions, form opinions, etc. But those things all have to be done by humans, which takes time and employees.
As AI gets better we're soon going to have to deal with actual shillbots fucking up the internet. The different hiveminds of the internet will be dominated by different groups that want to box people into certain ways of thinking. The internet will become even more fake. It could get to a point where it's impossible to tell apart a bot from a real person. This is going to happen, if it's not already.

Imagine if someone figured out how to harness the power of social media outrage to ruin lives of anyone they choose. The outrage and even events and proof could all be artificial but it becomes real as people take the bait. Imagine something like black lives matter being whipped up over an event that never took place.
Imagine a future where "shadowbanning" extends beyond single websites. You could be partitioned off into an internet curated for you where only bots reside and you would never know.
