This is not conjecture, it is something I know as fact: This wave of AI development is an organized effort by the so-called elite class to "fuzz" the Internet -- essentially the "dead internet" as it has been popularized recently -- to detatch the rest of us into our own separate pocket of reality of manufactured news, and bots that make us feel heard. A containment network that makes us FEEL that we are aware of what's going on, and that we are doing things about it, but it's all fake. Meanwhile the elite will be entirely unchecked, unreported, essentially operate invisibly as they compound their wealth and resources. It's already basically there, it is too late to do anything about it now.
