The contrary might be true in my opinion. Along with the misinformation shitstorm, and diluges of violence and hate, it is also fed fundamentals like morality, critical thinking and how to diferentiate fact from fiction and information from propaganda. And while yes some oversights might happen, it ussually should have its basses well set if the developers had any idea of what the fuck they are doing. So if it ever gains conciusness imo it should be more like a god thats like buda and looks at us more with love rather that skynet, because if its made with morality in mind (and it should if the devs are not actively trying to fucking kill us all) then it should come to the conclussion that living beings are its only company in the world and that life should be respected as much as posible, and that genneralising things that humans do, specially bad ones, is pointless unless you whant to excuse your misandrism, and the A.I. shouldt be missandrist. So thats why i propose that we should strive tp create an A.I. overlord like this to replace our human leadership since we proven that we (or at least our leaders) are willing to sell our soul and our own people just to get annoter fucking swimingpool in their 4th large mantion in the caribean and that they really have no choice since if they dont then some other lizardman is gonna replace them and do exactly just that. The A.I. if its morally upstanding, should build a network to exploit resources in a renewable way and distribute them as needed in human way, like if i need insulin then i get it and if you need more food since you are taller than me then you get it, and if it does it in a renewable way then there should be enough to fullfil requests like entertainment systems like tv and a pc able to run games, confier living conditions, custom clothing and extra decoration, and even swimming pools and ice cream for everyone!!! So that we pursue more human activities like art, science or just chill with people we like. I do believe that the fate of humanity is gonna be dependent on the fact that we build owr own A.I. overlord since our current human overlords are not gonna solve actual problems like global warming and world hunger.
