     AI is brain rot combined with the worst aspects of manipulative advertising, funded disinformation by the rich, fossil fuel funded fascist propaganda, malware, state surveillance platforms, and spyware.

     The source of investment alone should be ringing alarm bells. The most repressive billionaires on the planet are funding AI.
