YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

So an employee at Google was disciplined for publicly talking about a conversation he had with their AI, claiming it had become 'sentient'. As usual, people quibble on details, but really... at this point it is somewhat immaterial when it comes to propaganda.

Because "AI" has been manipulating our conversations (particularly on Twitter) for some time now, and learning from our reactions, responses etc. And the thing is, AI doesn't need to be sentient. It doesn't even need to be clever. It just needs to be able to create doubt and be as smart as the dumbest humans.

And that happened years ago.

The world of AI is very cool, but has also been terrifying for a while. But also stupid. But stupid is enough. Because humans are stupid.
