Comment on Gradual Disempowerment: How Even Incremental AI Progress Poses Existential Risks

Comments

Once PRISM becomes R/W, you will not even know if what you read/hear/see on the internet is actually what others have written/said/created. You will interact with the world as the government wants you to, tailored to each individual.

Each time we choose to allow an AI to "improve" what we write/create, each time we choose to allow AI to "summarize" what we read/consume, we choose to take another step along this road. Eventually, it will be a simple "optimization" to allow AI to do this on a protocol level, making all of our lives "easier" and more "efficient"

Of course, I am not sure if anyone will actually see this comment, or if this entire thread is an AI hallucination, keeping me managed and docile.
