It's a fun speculative fiction premise but assumes that everyone else's feelings and grievances are the result of AI manipulation while your own feelings and grievances are authentic[1].
The way to counteract AI influence is to view the world as Bayesian and incorporate many different opposing views. I read both Russian and Western views of the Ukraine war on Telegram channels for example that regularly contradict each other. When I start reading something and I experience cringe, I view that as a positive signal that I'm getting information from a different perspective that I should evaluate and update my priors.
