> You don't need fancy AI to destroy the fabric of society.
You don't, but you can do it a million times worse in just a fraction of the time. Considering how trivial Facebook can worsen our lives just imagine how effective it could be. That is the risk you are taking. Before we have even time to course correct we've lost everything we know.

If we get good AI the countermeasures are not going to be great. They alone could easily be dystopian. Since, captchas etc. won't be good enough. The only way to TRY and prevent abuse is to ID every action and tie it to a physical person. You could try to make that anonymously but yeah, like that is going to happen. And that is the easy part.
