I think an interesting thing to pay attention to soon is how there are networks of engagement farming cluster accounts on X that repost/like/manipulate interactions on their networks of accounts, and X at large to generate xyz.

There have been more advanced instances that I've noticed where they have one account generating response frameworks of text from a whitepaper, or other source/post, to re-distribute the content on their account as "original content"...

But then that post gets quoted from another account, with another LLM-generated text response to further amplify the previous text/post + new LLM text/post.

I believe that's where the world gets scary when very specific narrative frameworks can be applied to any post, that then gets amplified across socials.

LLM generation is a force multiplier for bad actors. The noise generation is impressive and you can influence other actors just by having more content. The good actors have to prove things to be true and make sure they are louder, a tough scenario.
