Human brains are hackable. AI will be tuned to hack the brain the same way advertising and marketing people have been doing for decades, but it will be refined and bespoke for each target. It will be cheap, it won't sleep, and can be cloned to scale up massively.
AI is going to be a horribly negative force in society. The AI we are seeing now is capital that will be built, owned, and IP-protected by capitalists to enrich themselves at great cost to society.
If an AI can do something good for society at any point in the future, a capitalist will figure out the value of that good, try to capture and monopolize it to control scarcity and make it more valuable, then bleed the hell out of it to extract profit.
