If it leads to total chaos (which I think it's going to) I could easily see governments trying to enact the following: - A public blockchain or database for ID purposes, with every ID traceable back to a real human. Legislation created that mandates all websites implementing user profiles for any social purpose to require an official ID on signup and every user must be identifiable on the platform by their real name. - Access to AI only under strict restrictions. Official apps you're allowed to use with the government banning all others. Big Tech will happily comply with the censoring because they are the designated official AI app providers. - Photorealistic AI and Video banned entirely because the potential to incite violence through fake videos is too high. Imagine Pizzagate or Jan 6th but someone made a Blair Witch style video showing Biden and Pelosi killing a baby as members of a secret cult. Or someone made a video of one of their enemies committing animal abuse and sending it to everyone in the town. - Exams will make up the entirety of your grade in most educational environments apart from those where AI cannot be used for creating the coursework. - Anyone caught using non-official AI or abusing AI will be subject to harsh prison time akin to hacking state secrets. Of course, the government and its agencies will have access to all of this technology for their own purposes so they will be able to create whatever they want to control you, your thoughts and society's perception to be whatever they want it to be. As this isn't really preferable to the complete chaos it's trying to control, more and more people will try to disconnect from the internet as much as possible. The IRL economy will grow and there will be a resurgence in analogue forms of media for counter culture types. There may even be a resurgence of interest in blue collar trade jobs if white collar jobs are decimated and wages plummet. We are on the precipice of 1984.
