A logical consequence of having popular information retrieval systems, like Google, Tik Tik, facebook, Wikipedia, etc., is that they eventually become the willing or unwilling target of PR firms.

Of course, it will happen to LLM providers too.

Soon, they will all offer a paid possibility for their system to hallucinate in favor of their biggest clients, including industries, states and 3 letters agencies.

We already have synchronized fake news in mainstream media, of course, we will have paid hallucinations. Why would one think otherwise?

This will massively influence the political scene. Few are going to check. People can’t tell the difference anyway, and don’t care to try.
