Scale matters and even with people it's a problem: fixated persons are a problem because most people don't understand just how much nuisance one irrationally obsessed person can create.
Now instead add in AI agents writing plausibly human text and multiply by basically infinity.
Even at the risk of coming off snarky: the emergent behaviour of LLMs trained on all the forum talk across the internet (spanning from Astral Codex to ex-Twitter to 4chan) is ... character assassination.
I'm pretty sure there's a lesson or three to take away.
