> AI will also shape your opinions and your political views. When will it do this exactly? Will we be watching AI generated movies and listening to AI generated music that is altering our politics? I don't see the avenues you see for AI to lie to me, perhaps someone who uses social media, or reads news websites, or opens spam emails might find themselves vulnerable - but I think you can live a good life without ever exposing yourself to or caring about this kind of nonsense. I should point out I don't use Amazon, nor would I use any retailers website to inform myself about available products when I need to buy something.

> Will we be watching AI generated movies and listening to AI generated music that is altering our politics? I suspect we increasingly will (and in some cases already are). As you say, anyone using social media will find bots shilling ideology of one kind or another and usually with ads on top of the astroturfing. It's only going to harder to sell who is a person or an AI pretending. Anywhere you see an advertisement is an opportunity to manipulate you. Compared to most people I see very few ads myself, but I sure can't escape all of them. Limiting our exposure to ads is the best defense we have against them, but increasingly they part of the content we want. Ads are being inserted into more and more places in our lives. AI will be too.
