At the Institute for Political Economy, Paul Craig Roberts discusses some of the eerie potential uses for artificial intelligence and questions the future reality of humanity. He writes:

I have written a number of articles for which I have received little response about the horrible mistake humanity has made by entering into the digital revolution and the AI it spawned. These disastrous developments are now being institutionalized in all societies. They bring the end of human autonomy, independence, control, objective truth, freedom, and awareness of reality.

The digital revolution destines humans to live in a reality created for them by those who control the data bases and thereby reality. Already AI companies are working to create the belief that a computer program, a chatbot, is a real person. You can now have a hologram of your parents or some other deceased relative or friend to advise you and sympathize with you as you experience the challenges of life.

The 2wai apt allows a person to load footage of a loved one which then is converted into an AI avatar that the person can continue to have a relationship with after the person’s death.

The transition of human life from objective reality into AI created reality is what is meant by science fiction writers, who are no longer writing fiction, when they describe a world in which those who control the narrative rule. Humans are being locked up in an artificial reality. There is still a real reality, but like in The Matrix humans don’t live in it.
