AI presents greater challenges to our thoughts than those limited to just politics.
A few years ago, Tupak Shakur was brought back to life eerily onstage during a concert as a hologram, and stunned the audience with it's realism.
Several years ago. How much better are these holograms now?
Could it be possible we could hear a knock on the door tomorrow, open it, and see a long dead friend waiting outside in realism so accurate we completely believe the impossible?
A hologram who speaks to me and responds to what I reply, one that I can believe I'm touching, even though I am actually touching nothing?
How much of a shock would that be?
I don't know, but at my age, I think it could be lethal for me, if it was the right dead person.
If intent was there, it could be a new method of assassination. Or with different intent, a new way of making me a very religious man.
When we cannot determine what is only an image from what is living, that's going to be the hardest decision our brains will ever have to make. One a human brain may not be prepared to make or cannot make.
If you consider the consequences good or bad with that, they easily make the Russian hackers look like chumps when it comes to tinkering with our minds.
AI as we use it takes a data stream in one end and pushes out categorized data sets at the other, that share common themes. Now I know that doesn't seem that sexy, but when you consider the sources of data, and what that categorized data can be used for it becomes much sexy. So what you show, plugged in to a true and properly trained AI could pass the Turing Test
with relative ease. The Bronze (text) medal has been won twice by Jabberwacky and A.L.I.C.E in the mid 2000s. So we know that in text conversation an AI is indistinguishable from a human, the interface is just the sticking point because there's a lot more info encoded in speech and appearance than just the words used. Example "Fine" spoken can have how many meanings?
When they get ready to prosecute Hillary, Bill, Podesta, etc, etc, for selling classified information/military technology to the Chinese, and money laundering under the cloak of a legitimate but phony charity -- they're going to attempt to use the scenario you've outlined above to create doubt in the minds of the population.
AI will be used as a division point just like anything else. One said will say that the other side is "all for it" and everyone is going to be unemployed because of it and that the other side is trying to make sure it happens that way. Fear will be used to get your vote just like most other topics.
