I don’t think AI would feel dystopian if we didn’t have corruption in our government. “By the people, for the people” isn’t where it’s at. We need to push getting money out of politics. Campaign finance reform, government leaders shouldn’t be able to own individual stocks, create a generous pension for congress that gets taken away if they start getting money from the private sector at any time in their life.

I really hate to be a downer on that because I agree with you.

But what are the odds that the people who are already corrupt, in a corrupt government, owned by corporations, who themselves are corrupt, and only driven by profit motive would view AI as anything but something to enhance their quarterly profitability and would fight tooth and nail to take any of those profits and attempt to better society.

I would love to see it, but that would be a miracle on the scale of Moses, parting the Red Sea.
