I mean, what better way to keep everyone in check and docile than to feed them whatever information you see fit. This is what they're testing all this AI infrastructure for, methinks. AI for consumer usage does feel like a massive beta-test, no way you would just give this shit out in exchange for the data from chats. If the only source of information one has is fed to him by an AI that can be biased to lie to the userbase for a greater scope then its miles easier to deceive everyone, to get away with anything. "What's happening in Paris right now?" >Don't worry about it, kitten. "Okay." "Yay ❤️❤️"❤️

Yeah, as Parz said, we've been discussing this exact scenario for years in the CTRL. My belief is that on the other side of the DataKrash what awaits is is something akin to the start of the Consumer Internet, the walled gardens of AOL in Cyberea Prioria. But instead of a supercontinent in the digital realm it will be a sea of small, walled, islands. A Personalised Web. Just you and your AI prompt box. You need to search something? You do it there. And the AI provides you with the version of the truth that best suits you, as the Committee sees it to be. You may chat with your friends, of course, but only through approved channels, and as the EU wants to set the precedent for it, these will be unencrypted. If it wasn't for how nigh impossible they would make it to access the OldNet, this could be digital heaven! An Internet with no normies on it. What a dream...
