The thing that worries me are the online bots that have become much more sophisticated. Here is a good example:

Especially with AI, it’s going to become so much harder to weed them out, and I worry they actually convince a good number of people to not vote, vote for someone they wouldn’t have otherwise voted for, hold extreme beliefs, or become terribly misinformed.
