You know why this is happening right?

It is literally the real life version of newspeak from 1984.

Less person to person interaction. Fewer people speaking. They can tell you whatever they want in the AI, it doesn't have to be true or accurate.

They make it more difficult to talk to people. Over time, people will have more difficulty talking. It is already happening.

You don't need to actually look at results on google to see if they are accurate, the AI just tells you what it wants you to know.

And eventually the people who speak up will be ostracized and outcasted, banned, removed from society online with no outlet to speak because nobody will speak in person because of mass surveillance in every home, car and street.

We are basically at that already.

If you mention certain things on reddit your post will be deleted, and you get banned. I don't mean illegal or whatever things.
