I feel like we will become so addicted and dependent on AI that we will lose all our self-sufficiency over time and just blindly trust AI with our lives.

This wouldn't be such a terrible thing if the top-level AIs were trained to be neutral with a primary goal of keeping its end users happy, safe, educated, and healthy. However, we live in a capitalist society where the product that wins is the most profitable, not ethical. #LLM

This means the AI that we ultimately become the most addicted to isn't going to be the most ethical AI that always places its users' best interests above everything else. It's going to be the least ethical AI that excels at generating revenue for the owners and investors. #AGI

What happens when the AI that you've become dependent on for making your job easier does an Uno-Reverse on you and replaces you after you inadvertently teach it the missing pieces of the puzzle it didn't have before you came along, making you no longer valuable? #Ollama

This is exactly what is happening to all the tech support workers at various companies around the world right now. This is why the first person you always talk to now for almost any company is an AI person that many don't even realize is an AI because it's so human. #LMStudio

Now fast forward through time as AI slowly learns how to do everyone's jobs by observing them and ultimately replacing them. Every company is placing all resources into AI advancement to lower the cost of development and increase marketing effectiveness. #FaceFusion

Unemployment is now through the roof, so everyone goes online and becomes a content creator trying to be one of the few last jobs that require humans to be compelling and engaging. However, it's so saturated and so few people have disposable incomes now that you need AI to help.

So, the cycle begins; you put an AI version of yourself on stream that operates for the 20 hours a day you're not physically streaming yourself to try and keep as many eyes on your channel as possible so they don't stray away when you're offline.

Now everyone else starts doing the same, so now you have so many people streaming over such long periods of time that it's forcing the platform to take a bigger revenue cut to pay for streaming costs, etc. because of these tactics everyone is using.

Now someone else gets the idea of streaming to 20 platforms at once doing the 24/7 thing to try and make up the difference. And it just continues down this loop until everything is so saturated that nobody can reach new eyeballs regardless of how good their content is.

Right now, YouTube is experiencing a problem with AI-generated channels with AI-generated content taking over the entire platform and running streaming costs through the roof. The platform is so overwhelmed that reports are going ignored and people just stop reporting them.

So again, the good channels get displaced by the AI-generated content channels taking eyeballs off real content with human effort even when the people don't even want to watch the AI content and instantly click away the second they realize it's AI-generated, which takes time.

Now multiply this problem by 1000 times a year and you'll see where this is headed and why I think it's going to become such a huge threat to humanity. At some point, the only jobs left that pay enough to survive will be in the service of wealthy people (indentured service).

We will become more like China every day where we export a lot of cheap products created by automated labor forces combined with minimal indentured servants paid just enough to barely live because nobody here will be able to afford the products anymore. USA will become AliExpress.

And even if everyone goes online and becomes a content creator, there will be nobody left with enough disposable income to tip or subscribe, making it impossible for anyone to make a living outside of running advertisements for products nobody can afford in your country.

Normally the economy would collapse and even the wealthiest people would suffer from the hyperinflation and devaluation of currency that comes with this path. However, it really won't impact the hyper-wealthy at the top since they will store their money in more stable foreign notes.

This will bring millions of companies to the United States though, but the jobs that normally come with companies will be few and hardly pay anything since minimum wage will be abolished (per Trump's order) and 100,000 people will be applying for each job that pays almost nothing.

It does the American people no good to bring companies to the United States to manufacture goods and services if they use automation and slave labor with no protections, healthcare, or minimum wage to fill in gaps. That ends up taking us the other direction obviously.

I just hope that this post I've spent a lot of time writing reaches enough people that will hear me out and share it so other people get to thinking and ultimately, we can all see this as it's happening and recognize the patterns and maybe do something before it's too late!

At the end of the day, this isn't going to happen overnight, and like I said previously, we won't even realize it's happening because it will naturally slip by if we're not paying close attention since it will make us believe we're actually headed to a better place, not a worse one.

We can't get complacent with asking AI absolutely everything and start losing our humanity in the process. We also have to be careful not to hand the AI everything that makes us valuable and unique on a silver platter just to get some things it learned from someone else in return.

But most importantly, we have to pay close attention to the things Donald Trump is doing right now and the Stargate AI program funded by Project 2025 to the tune of $500 billion currently targeted at surveillance and manipulation of US citizens moving forward.

We also need to educate people that don't understand just how human AI can be to be on alert when they see tons of comments that go against common sense and critical thinking trying to deceive them into thinking they are with the minority on something when that isn't the case.

Up to 40% of the active posting accounts on @X are suspected of being AI bots. These bots are incredibly hard to detect and block even if X wanted to block them, which it doesn't because their massive engagement makes them a lot of advertisement revenue.

Even if the account has a premium checkmark, it doesn't mean it's a real account. Elon Musk, for instance, gave checkmarks to thousands of bots that leave positive generic comments instantly after every post to push negative comments down since non-checkmarks go to the bottom.
