Now you’ve got a dependent group who rely in AI as a source of truth, and now they can modify “the truth” whenever you want because it’s the only source left.

Well, besides using that for political reasons, they can also use that for massive profits.

Better make sure your carpet cleaning business is paying Google for """advertising""" (no matter how much it costs), or Google's AI will just forget to mention your business when local customers search online for carpet cleaners. Or you want to shop online for a new phone? Now Google's AI will only feed you positive reviews of Google phone products, along with occasional horror stories about other products. Want to download and run Firefox? Google's AI will straight-up gaslight you into thinking that all non-Chrome browsers are extinct.
