Someday, AI will confirm whatever you are most likely to believe.

Do you trust AI, specifically the frontier LLM's? The answer changes over time. In the beginning, AI basically boiled the ocean called the internet and fed it back to you. So I trusted it to be what it was, distilled internet. From the start, researchers tried to 'correct' AI output. They tried to prevent it from saying things that were illegal, sexy, violent, or politically charged. Basically, they tried to prevent AI from saying anything that might harm the companies creating AI. It's a short step from creating AI's that don't say anything to harm their parent companies, to creating AI's that promote the interests of their parent companies. From there, eventually, AI will be used to subtly steer global markets and global politics. Maybe this is already happening, and it will work. But, that isn't the end state. As more time passes, AI will be like media. AI will say whatever sells the most AI. Different AI models, or even the same AI model, will be tuned to pander to different interests and prejudices. Companies who don't design AI's that sell, after all, will fail to those that do; this is an inevitable consequence of Capitalism. Someday, AI will confirm whatever you are most likely to believe.
