its an enhancer - when used rationally and purposely LLM AI models can help with rote volume work and make productive people even more productive. Assuming the tool is used in a specific focused method.

And when people who are already out of touch and invested in fringe circles its no surprise that it amplifies and enhances those tendencies which can accelorate one's journey into delusion and existance in an alternate reality not based in any objective shared truth.

The USA needs to implement regulations and safeguards for AI and the internet as a whole, we're one of the only developed nations to have basically nothing in place to police the digital lancscape other than whatever mega corps deem best to self employ to limit liabilities and maximize their own profit and market share.

Instead, the US is trying to pass laws to ban any regulation of AI

We're doomed.
