    No, this is a fundamental understanding of the motivations behind AI. AI, as it is currently being implemented, is designed to be manipulative and convincing, to convince people of things that aren’t necessarily true but suit the needs of the tech giants, to implement behavioral changes on a societal scale for advertising, marketing, and capitalism, to collect the data and behaviors of everyone on the planet, and to ultimately create a monopoly on the entire concept of truth itself so that the wealthiest and most successful at deploying AI can effortlessly control and shape the economy and society to their own ends in perpetuity.

    AI is not dangerous because of what it is, AI is dangerous because of what the people funding it and driving it are using it to accomplish. It has nothing to do with automating our jobs, it has everything to do with automating theirs. This is the information age, and these are all advertising companies who are the middlemen in almost all information we receive about anything. Remember that. Do not trust what it says, do not trust what media says about it, do not trust anything about it. It is a informational weapon of mass destruction, and it is being used to pry open the cracks in society for the gains of the people selling it.

      Worker productivity has skyrocketed over the past fifty years, with advances in technology making some jobs severalfold more productive. Yet wages have stagnated, with the increased profits being siphoned away to the executives who seem to do less than ever before.
