That's what AI could be. Or, rather what it should be, but isn't. All I've seen AI "be" to present is human spoofing software for subverting social networks to the political adjenda of Billionares.

The esteemed administrators of Stanford's HAI program could spend a few bucks on gasoline to torch the place and it would be an improvement in "AI." No billionaire's endowment groveling needed for that improvement either.

So much aspirational bullshit holding up the pipeline of graduates employed to build compliance software. But go ahead, call it AI if it makes you feel better. Call it inevitable if that exculpates your being a handmaiden to kleptokratic authoritarianisim. There's no future upside to this software that could begin to mitigate the harm it's already rendered.
