I think we can see the consequences pretty clearly. Look at the society in countries like the USA where people are deeply divided and can’t talk to each other. And where politics etc isn’t about facts anymore, but politicians just invent arbitrary things which are 99% wrong but get to the people. Where nothing is about doing some sane thing, but just becoming more and more extemist.
We’ve had bots, filter bubbles, algorithms etc for quite some time now. I’d say about 10 years. This isn’t something fundamentally new, just the next step that will accellerate things further.
