Oh good. A population empowered by the ultimate “yes and” affirmation machine to believe all their opinions are perfect and they don’t need to compromise with each other.
From a local community of a few thousand to isolated online community of a few hundred to a private discord server of a few to just you and AI.
Strangely enough this is the exact same path addiction leads to.
I am beginning to think it was a bad idea to prioritize engagement and retention over safety.
