Is AI going to make the important decisions like who the person should vote for and actually cast that vote too? Seems like a risk when the next generation will grow up outsourcing most of their decisions to AI and then need to figure out how to make the important ones on a reduced experience base. Definitely need to be brave for what is likely to come.

"Is AI going to make the important decisions like who the person should vote for and actually cast that vote too?" - Funny you mention that use case - I know for a fact that its being worked on right now (at least the "who to vote for" portion). The younger generation has allowed TikTok to talk them into seeing how many laundry pods they can eat ... so yeah things are going to get increasingly stupid most likely.

I'm sorry but this has been going on since the very first time people were allowed to vote on something. AI is not making this new. The new generation is not the _one_ being influenced (it's everyone).

Everyone everywhere is being fed nonsense from all sides (I mean metaphorically not politically), all the time. AI is making it cheaper, but it's not making it more possible.
