Ultimately, AI ends up being no different than working with any human in that regard. Human output is full of errors too and will still demand a decision at the end of the day.

The issue always was ideology and the users. The users who were too lazy to think wanted AI to think for them, we should wonder what's wrong with people who were trying to avoid thinking that much.

Where human reasoning falters is the same reason the AI is struggling, factoring in useless information, like identity, is how it's going to end up calculating prediction errors like anyone with a neoliberal childhood.

People never believe me when I say it, but the links are there. It's just a side effect of fascism, being willing to hand over control of decision making to an authority because reasoning is too much work.

There’s definitely a parallel. Both humans and AI can produce flawed outputs under pressure or bias. But the key difference is visibility. With humans, we can question, challenge, and understand intent. With AI, that layer is often missing, which makes blind trust riskier.

Agreed. Knowing who is at the helm of the AI companies is worth questioning. We can only get them to answer for the machine's outputs, but of course the media is too busy fawning over these people rather than talking to AI to find out what is going on for themselves. It's frustrating.

So frustrating I'm trying to write fiction for the first time in my life to present a story about Individualism vs Collectivism using an AI regulator as my antagonist to do it. It's my best attempt at educating people on what to look out for when using AI. It's largely about knowing yourself. The machine itself isn't the biggest issue even if it could use some improvements. We really need people to question the leadership.

I belive you. The only Ai based industry we have in Europe is the digital cage.
