![Page 14: Premise What if AI hacked social media? What if AI spread hateful messages? What if AI drove humanity apart? This is the Antisocial AI](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/5697c0151a28abf838ccdcad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How long will it take?
• Depends on AI strategy• Might get caught spreading self• Attacks are fast, 2-3 hours• Attacks are paced, 1-2 days, maybe weeks
![Page 15: Premise What if AI hacked social media? What if AI spread hateful messages? What if AI drove humanity apart? This is the Antisocial AI](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/5697c0151a28abf838ccdcad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
(Possible) Aftermath(s)
• People confront AI– Try to appeal to any feelings it has– Impossible if AI has no feelings
• People ignore AI– Unlikely if AI continuously attacks• Fragility would cause some person to react negatively
• New social networks are created– Unlikely due to public anxiety– New AI may be created by someone else

Antivirus?
• agent.btz– Found near Pentagon– Hacked Pentagon files– Took fourteen months to deal with– Has not been killed
• Same “lifespan” can be used for AI

Most likely aftermath
• People abandon social media– May try to fight back– Paranoia and “lifespan” prevent other outcomes
