>> The thing that AI is best at is summarizing vast quantities of information
by definition a summary is the best at nothing though, and the mentality that the best way to rule is from a single summarized interpretation is both flawed and scary. It's not answering all questions; it's attempting to provide a single summation dramatically influenced by training. Go ahead and incorporate this into your balanced and multi-perspective decision-making process, but "one tool to rule them all" is not the same thing and definitely not what we're getting.

This reminded me of Project Cybersyn [1], an attempt by socialist Chile to build a central heavily-computerized room that would summarize their entire economy to a few men literally pushing the buttons. Complete with 70s aesthetics and Star Trek TOS feel.
