@pluralistic Granny Weatherwax is pretty smart. AI, like crypto and blockchain before it, are just games capitalists play to grind regular people to death while picking their pockets. The only question in any of these things is, "how will this make a billionaire richer?".
In this, I'm pretty sure AI's big flex is making sure that privacy is a thing of the past. It's a powerful tool for collating our data and using it against us while we pay for the privilege.
