100%. And it's dangerous as fuck. I am very aware, I dedicated my whole life to communicating through text, with computers, with humans, with myself, I studied philosophy and cognition and language and semiotics and computing and coding, so I'm at a tremendous advantage, and I have noticed that I have started talking a bit more like AI over the past few years.
Like, lie with dogs, get fleas.
Imagine if they decided that they will adjust the morality of the AI, to, let's say, just be a little bit more favorable towards the concept of "white genocide" in South Africa, and the global effects you could see in sentiment. You think Facebook is bad? In ten years we are going to have a seriously big fucking problem with a handful of people truly controlling what people think. They already do, but this one is a game changer.
Sorry for rambling.
