I hate the fact that this technology also has good sides, because they are used to steer us all into a fucking nightmare.

Imagine if people said the same when telegraphs were invented, or phones, or the internet, …
All these technologies provide police state material, and non-democratic states do become police states (China, Russia, Iran, …). But there also democratic states that despite using these technologies are not police states.
The struggle for freedom is a political issue that has been there since the beginning of times and will continue to be there. It’s politics, AI won’t change this.

AI enables a new form of fully automated implementation of disinformation, societal violence and lethal force, completely disconnected from all morals, ethics and second thoughts a person might have. When the tools of suppression are not wielded by a human that might decided that things are going too far, there also isn’t any risk of these tools getting turned against whoever activated them.
If you cannot see that, then you are either already one of their victims of societal manipulation or one of the people switching these systems on.
