AI was supposed to make life easier

No way, AI was supposed to make the rich even richer

AI-generated content, deepfakes, fake news—how do we even trust anything anymore?

It's all the fault of technology. Inventing more technology isn't going to solve anything. The benefits that we are getting are diminishing and the problems are getting worse.

I think we need to create new communities less dependent on technology, where we are more dependent on each other.

"The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future." - Frank Herbert, Dune

Disagree with Frank Herbert on that one. Technology has brought the terrors of the future to the present.

His own works demonstrated how technology can lead to the enslavement of the people.
