What does it mean to be “involved in”? @ike suggested that a deepfake could go viral. Suppose there was a deepfake that had a political purpose, like a fake video involving a politician. If a million people view it, is that “involved”?
Good question. I meant involved in some sort of automated learning process, such as RL. Like, data is automatically collected about the million humans’ behavior and then automatically used to adjust the weights of some neural network that feeds those humans information, repeat.
Yes. For example, recommendation algorithms count as this I think, except that they aren’t currently being optimized to persuade towards anything ideological or political; they merely persuade you to be more engaged, buy more products, report higher user satisfaction, etc.

So there needs to be some two way interaction between the AI system and real humans?
