>civilized communities
That's a myth.
You also overlay learned patterns onto everything, expecting your neighbors to be "civilized" despite the fact that you can't point to any specific reason why anyone is that way.

If you lived in a cult with extreme fascist control over your community then you could say that everyone is "civilized", at least from your perspective inside the cult. But in reality? Civilization is a myth.

Stop believing the social contract is unbroken and you'll see the patterns. There are many more NPCs and psychopaths walking around than most people realize.

>it's going to kill us all terminator style
It's being used to control narratives more efficiently than the troll farms.
As soon as printing press technology was useful it was used to put newspapers in front of everyone's eyes.
Historically those papers were full of dog shit propaganda and made up crap, but people still shoveled it down their throats.
The Internet and AI are clear successors, algorithms and bots are used to generate mountains of slop and force feed it to the public.
Only a very small portion of the population does their own research.
So that is to say I agree with you, but this is worse than you think. If AI is nuclear, this is 3-Mile Island leaking a river of radioactive sludge into everyone's heads. Boomers can't tell the difference between bots and real people, I doubt if I can tell the difference anymore.
The internet won't survive this.
If anything, eventually they will flood the net with toxic waste just so they can justify shutting it all down and installing a great firewall in the West. You already see the first stage of this which is digital ids.

Based opinions will die out. This is the last hurrah for free speech in the West. At least for now some of the posters here aren't bots, I hope.
