Why do you feel like this is scarier than the internet 30 years ago? Your comment could be written in 1993, describing how everything will change because of the internet. I'm not saying AI won't impact democracy (obviously the internet has) but I'm having a hard time relating to people who seem so ready to declare the end of civilization as we know it. Humans are resilient, and we've made it through the industrial and tech revolutions to create entities more powerful than ourselves, so what is different now?
