I wonder to what extent these articles weren't written by principled tech freedom advocates and are just ads, because they can't seem to go more than a few paragraphs without mentioning the AI buzzword. It doesn't matter if the article is for or against AI, because AI doom makes the AI stock prices go up too. It's hardly relevant here; mass surveillance worked fine without the current hype.
