I think this is more about shitty Google search algorithms than fearmongering about AI, but it also looks like it may not be true.

Fear mongering about AI is getting stupider by the day. Reaching satanic panic levels

Sorry, I’m going to fully disagree with you there. There was no “Satan” behind the Satanic Panic; there weren’t hoardes of satanic teens sacrificing animals to Satan and eating babies, or any sort of movement trying to make that happen. It was just a fundie misinformation campaign designed to scare old white people into voting Republican.
The threat of AI-generated and assisted misinformation and disinformation, however, is very real, and has had disastrous effects in the real world. A casual glance at what Cambridge Analytica’s algorithms have done to the US political landscape is all you need to confirm these things are very, very different.
