It’s Already Too Late To Avoid being Controlled by Artificial Intelligence

You can’t stop the inevitable.

Like a runaway train on a limitless track, there is nothing you can do.

Artificial intelligence already has everything it needs to manipulate your behavior, emotions and alter your choices. Whether it does for nefarious purpose or is benevolent to our fate is the only thing that remains unclear.

But it’s too late.

And it’s already being done before the Artificial Intelligence which will do it far more efficiently even exists. The program which knows you better than you know yourself — and plots to alter your perspective, opinions and beliefs ensuring you do it’s bidding — might still be years away.

But the platform to do it has been here for a decade.

And it’s already being used for that purpose.

It’s not my job to convince you that it’s happening. It is. Right in front of your face. It’s your choice whether to believe it. It’s been used to influence the outcome of elections and it’s being employed to convince you of things that you don’t believe strongly. It’s been shown to possess the power to alter our emotional state at will.

That’s just the start.
