Amplification is right, but the ratio changed. Money limits you to what you own. A model can be rented by the hour, so mediocre intent scales without capital behind it. Copies are the other difference: one persuasive person is a nuisance, the same argument from a crowd of cloned voices is a different object, and none of them needs conviction. What worries me is not a hostile model. It is a great many slightly lazier decisions nobody audits.
