And that's the early game.
Imagine when AI will be monitoring all internet traffic and arresting people for thoughtcrime.
What wasn't feasible to do before is now quite in reach and the consequences are dire.
Though of course it won't happen overnight. First they will let AI encroach every available space (backed by enthusiastic techbros). THEN, once it's established, boom. Authoritarian police state dystopia times 1000.
And it's not like they need evidence to bin you. They just need inference. People who share your psychological profile will act and speak and behave in a similar way to you, so you can be put in the same category. When enough people in that category are tagged as criminals, you will be too.
All because you couldn't be arsed to write some boilerplate
It's already arresting the wrong people [0].
