      same thought. AI will accelerate stupidity and lazyness if done wrong, and a lot of advancement seems to be used explicitly to get it as wrong as possible for profit.

        Stupid people are the easiest to manage/rule because they don’t have the tools to figure anything out. Fear and anger works very well on them - ask Putin or the Republican party leaders.

    Using AI to deprive people of the means to live well isn’t just stupidity, it’s capitalism. Some of the harms are caused by stupidity but others are caused by malign ideology.
