As a very conspiracy-minded guy who follows
@Corbett Report very closely, I do believe that the AI agenda is definitely being pushed for a technocratic reason. Inevitably it will tie into the CBDC/Digital ID/UBI Surveillance grid that they are building around us.
But, we as a species have already gotten a taste of AI, and Pandora's box has been opened. So, now we have to determine what that means and what we do with it.
