I am hoping those who create them see there is more of a profit it making it available to a larger market. So yes, the big boys will have a tool to use against us, but only for a few years. If it does not become available and people know that many of the comments are not from a person, they'll become more cynical of all comments they get - though some will be eager to exchange pointes of view, just because it is an AI.

To illustrate my point.

Years ago, Sony announced that they have spent $200 million (maybe the equivlent of a billion or more now?) on creating security so that their DVDs cannot be hacked. You will have to have a licence to play their games or listen to their music.

Do you know for how long they benefitted from their super technology? I think it was weeks, but anyway, far less than 6 months.

A kid of 14 was trying to get the gme and he could not and he was getting angry. He took a markers pen and ran it around the outside edge.

Once he calmed down, he decided to try again, but the DVD immediately played the game. The company had cleverly (so they thought) placed the security right at the edge.

$200 million down the drain because a kid got frustrated.

That is the problem with AIs also. As long as they are digital, we'll continue to have the edge on them, because we can come up with crazy/original ideas...whereas the AI has to work itself to that idea, it cannot grab it out of thin air, as we do.
