I don't think we are ready for the risk of mass manipulation through AI relationships.

Imagine if Elon decides tomorrow morning that he wants to encourage all of the users of his AI relationship app to support Trump?

A drop in a bucket compared to what already exists via algorithms and the media at large.

[AlecSchueler]

What do you mean imagine? He's already using his AI to spread his political beliefs.

We are not ready but we're ripe for them.

The advertisement industry has fingered our brains and raped our attention while eating up all the information they could get, now "AI" is harvesting our "open relationship with sharing information about ourself". The merger between the work the Ad Industry has done in preparation with the new data will collect will be catastrophically successful.

Meanwhile, we willingfully slept on digital literacy. The effects ripple already through many aspects of our societies. Causing havoc.

We're running toward an really "interesting" peak in Western Societies and I don't see how that might stop or even slow down.

Right that would be extremely dangerous to our democracy[1] Only the TV and mainstream media are allowed to manipulate opinions.

Does Elon still support Trump? I don't follow the presidential soap opera closely but thought they had a big falling out over the beautiful bill and he was toying with the idea of a third party?

[andy_ppp]

He literally just paid for Trump’s reelection, why do we think these people need AI?

[persolb]

Potentially this is like giving an axe murderer an uzi. They don’t need it, but they’ll probably be more effective.

[Zambyte]

Cheaper, general purpose, and more effective than other means.
