I agree with you on most of what you have said here. The current culture saddens me and the divide is self feeding. The more angry the left gets, the more angry the right gets. Who then feed and keep growing their perception of the world without looking beyond their own life.
To many people thinking, "Out of sight, out of mind." I just wish people could ask why. Why do I think this way. Do I know the truth beyond my bias?
One of the dark dangers of out of control AI is the fact that it can generate world views which human beings might adopt via disinformation, propaganda, etc. Imagine if Hitler had AI bots generating fake news stories and stoking hatred on not a daily basis but an hourly basis?
