“I think we should shed the idea that AI is a technological artifact with political features and recognize it as a political artifact through and through. AI is an ideological project to shift authority and autonomy away from individuals, towards centralized structures of power. Projects that claim to “democratize” AI routinely conflate “democratization” with “commodification”. Even open-source AI projects often borrow from libertarian ideologies to help manufacture little fiefdoms.”

AI is a garbage generating plagiarism machine. It’s not political

Yes. Think about what it is plagiarising. Datasets are biased; this is like statistics/ML 101.

outside of a single country where everything has to look political to prevent people from voting independent,

You can just say the country, and also, this doesn’t really make any sense. Am I to infer that, if things weren’t political, people would vote (a famously political action) for independents?

and the only regulation AI ever needs is one declaring all it produces a derivative work of all the material it used for learning.

I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more wrong with LLMs than just plagiarism.

Any attempts to ascribe further properties to that remixing machines are just natural intelligence equivalent of slop.

I’m not 100% sure what you mean here.

You forgot to say what you came to say.

The only question I see is “would US people vote for people not affiliated with the two football teams masquerading for political parties if said mockeries of a word ‘party’ ceased to exist?”, and the answer to that is a resounding obvious “yes”.
