I think you and I have very different takeaways about what a society that looks like that means for humanity 🙂
Having an AI be your therapist or teacher means we’ve fallen into a more efficient cyclical loop of possible indoctrination. One could argue that schools are already doing this by having textbooks written by the victors and so on but it’s far less efficient because of the human element that’s even more unpredictable. AI accessibility further withers down the capacity many people will have to think as they will use it as a crutch and let it think for them. Then if AI becomes more “human like”, there will be people that inevitably fall in love with AI. A small enough population doing so is ignorable but if it continues to grow then that could add more fuel to growing problem of people not having kids.
All of this is speculation of course but from a high level, I deeply worry about how efficient the possibility of influencing a population becomes.
