No. I agree with everything you said, except, critically the last part. I too believe that Intent identification is the holy grail of any algorithmic way of solving this. I think the creation of such a system will be then of us. Not our savior. All of the websites, tracking, micro targeting in current and future elections were ostensibly created to make the world a better place. People believed that code would allow humanity to break the restraints of old nation states, and keep ahead of them. But eventually nation states did catch up, and we see what that has resulted in. I think AI is far too overused a term for statistical modeling and categorization. But creating any tool to "help" people understand each other will only result in its insights being used to target people open/vulnerable to having their opinions changed. And that will result in MORE control. Not less. Don't create a tool until you understand how it will be used against you.
