This clearly shows that such implementation of AI is a solution that still seeks for the problem. Such summary doesn’t add anything helpful. On top of this, since AI is known to hallucinate, one has to check the comments for themselves, making a summary obsolete.

Soon people will trade USB thumb drives with each other, until USB ports get banned for the sake of children.

This definetely will happen. Imagine you are attempting to run for the mayors office, a high position in a company, or anything similar, your opponent will gladly dig up some post where you stated something that became controversial over time.

It is a bit similar to have dug up drunk party pictures from college or university, only that in the future these takes will be judged in a more unpredictable manner: With party pictures that show you drunk, you can estimate yourself that this might not be a goog idea to have them spread over the internet, as they put you in a bad light.

But when you state that rich people should be taxed accordingly, because they benefit from the same infrastructure and law should apply to everyone equally or empolyees shouldn’t be harassed by their employer because they want to organize in a union then these statements could be held against you in the future. Who knows, maybe pro-union-talking will be outlawed in the future.

That is, why the ability to maintain anonymity and privacy on the internet is extremely important, and we must not give that up. In the past, well before the internet, people died for the privilege to speak free.

With this attempt to normalize biometric identification, soon it will not only be about individually targeted ads as a method to try to sell stuff to people, but also to hold each user accountable for what is posted and commented anywhere. This is bad. An ad at least can be ignored or blocked. But if someone comments or posts or shares anything that goes against any political agenda, this might lead to trouble in real life. Users, who today do not seem to be very concerned about online privacy, probalby will not recognize the implications, until it ts too late.

I suspect that many internet users will provide biometric identification eventually, as I can assume that online services display a “false positive” - a popup that tells the user to perform an age verification, despite the desired content is neither nsfw nor otherwise unsuitable for children.

Those who try to maintain their online anonymity and privacy will be percieved as “sketchy” in the future, because ThEy MuSt HaVe SoMeThInG To HiDe.

Over the past year, TikTok has been cutting trust and safety staff worldwide, often substituting those workers completely with automated systems.

This is the whole reason AI is forced upon everything. AI promises to reduce cost, because workers dont’t need to be paid, because they aren’t needed anymore.

For the same reason McDonalds introduced AI-powered ordering at their drive-throughs, which have failed horribly, and thus, are depreciated for now.

Or car rental companies that use AI to detect damages after returning the vehicle (which also have a high failure rate).
