In someways this thread sounds like the real first step in the raise of true AI, in a weird banal encroachment kind of way.
I routinely use AI to help me communicate. Like Aaron to my Moses.
The AIs aren't going to take over by force, it'll be because they're just nicer to deal with than real humans. Before long, we'll let AIs govern us, because the leaders we choose for ourselves (e.g. Trump) are so awful that it'll be easier to compromise on an AI.
Before long, we'll all be happy to line up to get installed into Matrix pods.
I would take rude, well-intentioned jerks to kindly speaking devils seeking to deceive me. Have a good one in your pod, though
