For Unilever to look bad, that would have to be something truly awful, like the nestlé Twitter page...

FTFY... Because nobody wants their brand "awareness" campaign to end up next to anything remotely controversial. They want polar bears drinking coca cola in the winter fuzzy feelings when you see/think of their brand. NOT associations with white-supremacist, nazi, fascist disinfo...

Well it is... disparity of wealth/resources always leads to social unrest and AI (as currently implemented) will help a few individuals at the tippity top concentrate that wealth far more efficiently than ever before in history.
There are only two paths we have as a civilization at this point.
A) a future where technological advance benefits all of humanity. The increase in productivity and automation leads to a better quality of life for everyone... so instead of plowing fields or doing data-entry all day or whatever else we can automate away, people can use that time to pursue pure scientific or humanistic endeavors (e.g. a Star Trek post-scarcity outcome)
B) a future where everyone is still working for the weekend and the AI killbots now guard the piles of cash the wealthy few have accumulated on the backs of everyone else.
IMHO, B is far far far far far more likely
