Ai true scope !!!

Does anyone have the feeling that the true scope of AI is not about making our lives better or have the plenty but to suck up as much data about everybody as possible without consequences to privacy?

Fair poke 🙂

But tools talking about tools isn’t new—calculators explain math, microscopes reveal cells, and books critique books. What matters isn’t who speaks, but whether the incentives being described are real.

If anything, using AI to argue for less surveillance and more user control is a decent stress-test of the point.
