AI will not help by improving extremely smart people. AI will help dumb people and dumb processes with "free" expert-level intelligence. Anyone could still ignore intelligence and make ignorant decisions. But the default mode would be highly intelligent informed decision. Example with health - a patient can read blood test results with Opus and get very good results for "free". This is far away from helping extremely smart people, still it improves society from the ground up.

Why would they listen to an AI, when their favorite podcaster says something contrary? I am not trying to be funny btw, people take medical advice from podcasters over doctors. I have seen this first hand.

  AI can presumably make a preferable podcast no problem.

    I think that might get the distribution backwards. Why trust these SV elites, when I have ____? He/she gets me! If anything, people with large audiences are going to give "custom" AIs to their followers. I hope I am wrong.

  "Free AI" will not fight existing knowledge or strong opinions. It will spread to empty spaces. Example with blood test — there is no podcaster there and will not be.

  Yes, this is along the lines of what i have been thinking. Why would anybody listen to a smart machine when someone they feel emotional attachment to make a counter argument? This arguments always assume that people are very rational and will always take the action that will favor them but people routinely do stupid stuff all the time and will defend their right to do those.

    Yeah, it's really bad out here man. There is a huge epidemic of even highly intelligent people being manipulated into doing completely irrational things.
