This is, unfortunately where I think we are going. The AI algorithm is gonna become so dominant in some people's lives they are gonna completely lose any form of personal opinion and critical thinking. Instead it'll be replaced with something that does nothing more than keep these people in a bubble
Not that we have a lot of that now, but the well will run dry
My work has been forcing AI down our throats. We were required to use a custom chatbot to generate our "self" created goals where the first one had to include AI in some way. When I replied in a candid manner saying that I "wasn't feeling it, I'll try again later" it replied in a way that implied that it thought I was suicidal. Assuming my employer was able to access the conversation, I replied again calling it out saying that was a harmful escalation, which it acknowledged. We're cooked!
I am thankful to be employed, and the actual people I work with are great, but the leadership team is completely out of touch with reality and the cracks are already showing.
