Ok, I guess this is a political question, don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers, lol. How do you feel about the military using AI for domestic surveillance? Do you have a problem with it or think it is OK if it is for finding illegals? And is that something you agree the military should be doing domestically?

I am truly suspicious of AI for anything. The potential for abuse is staggering, and when were human beings ever successful at resisting the temptation to use a new weapon? They've opened Pandora's Box, let the genie out of the bottle, and no one understands the capabilities or limitations of this thing. Domestic surveillance is a danger unto itself.

I will preemptively type out my response. To the Democrats, the Republicans are wrong. To the Republicans, the Democrats are wrong. It’s just a great big echo chamber on both sides with no real ability to think for themselves anymore. We’re told what to think without ever looking into the facts ourselves. And when we do look into the facts for ourselves, we look in our comfy spots, whether that be conservative media outlets or liberal. So what doesn’t really matter anymore? Nobody educates themselves on their own. Whoever wins the media war wins the election.
