Is our delegation of decision making to AI more serious than just an issue of problematic conclusions & outputs (the result of prejudice & AI hallucinations)?

Certainly, Joseph de Weck (Foreign Policy Research Institute) thinks so... he sees a return to the pre-enlightenment world of blind belief & a lack of reason...

A stark warning, we'd be well to heed (as the human race)!

AI decision-making, tsunamis of disinformation and slop, constant focus on proven liars, un-real "reality TV" ...all of this is leading to a collapse of the Age of Reason and a return to the Dark Ages.

@ChrisMayLA6

Indeed.

It already is in large parts of America. Even the UK has its own anti-vax movement.

@ChrisMayLA6 I fault him for repeating the falsehood that AI is "superhuman intelligence." It has no intelligence, because it is not alive. It's like attributing intelligence to a timer you've set because it dings at the end of the period of time you set it for.
