Now, what would it mean for human beings to live in a world where perhaps most of the

stories, melodies, images, laws, policies and tools are shaped by a non-human alien intelligence

which knows how to exploit with superhuman efficiency the weaknesses, biases and addictions

of the human mind and also knows how to fall deep and even intimate relationships with

human beings.

That's the big question.

Now, there is no indication that AI has, as I said, any consciousness, any feelings

of its own, but in order to create fake intimacy with human beings, AI doesn't need feelings

of its own.

It only needs to be able to inspire feelings in us, to get us to be attached to it.

In every political battle, for heart and mind, intimacy is the most effective weapon of all.

And AI has just gained the ability to mass produce intimacy with millions, hundreds of millions.

Now, on a more prosaic level, we might soon find ourselves conducting lengthy online discussions

about abortion or about climate change or about the Russian invasion of Ukraine with entities

that we think are fellow human beings, but are actually AI bots.

This is infants on thrones, baby steps, who want some to preach to.

The philosophies of men, mingled with humor, mingled with humor, mingled with humor, mingled

with humor, mingled with humor, mingled with humor, mingled with humor, mingled with humor, mingled

with humor, mingled with humor, mingled with humor, mingled with humor, mingled with humor, mingled with

the philosophies of men, mingled with humor, we are evolving.

Look for the good and everything,
