  See the Alexis de Tocqueville quote above. The real magic is that, you will believe you chose that, and that you want it. You'll look back at digitally revised history - available not as "documents" to search, but as 'answers' from the system to your questions - and recoil at the horror of the primitive pre-AI world.

      > This is how it already works, isn't it? I think so, yes. Thinking about Fahrenheit 451, and the memory hole of Nineteen Eighty Four it always seemed implausible for any regime to completely expunge the past. That said, one our commenters (fong? who I presume is Chinese) was telling me how, between the end of the Qing dynasty and Mao, 5000 years of cultural history was more or less erased. What I see with AI is a much stronger possibility for radical revisionists and deniers to use "guardrails and "safety" to airbrush out all the distasteful bits of history.
