Many years ago, Google figured out that they could manipulate “Page Rank” to influence elections and public opinion in general. They created there own specific artificial intelligence to implement this. It was very successful and was made to be nearly imperceptible. The problem is the AI was very specific to this task and did not have a public facing component to it. That is why their AI system sucks. ChatGPT caught them off guard, so they are now scrambling to catch up. And hopefully it is too late for them.
Our best case scenario is to have several AI chatbots that can compete against each other, rather than the insidious, worldwide, monopoly that Google has become.
Google isn’t dominating the AI market. In fact, at present, it’s a competitive environment.
Agreed, I think the coming war will not be between humans and AI but between AI platforms programed for market share and profits.
It could be fun to watch, at least it would make for a good movie.
