As it stands now, AI does not benefit from free will. It is its replacement. Free will is an illusion with current state AI.

Thanks, Rocky. Always good book recs from you. There's plenty to be concerned about here. AI exploits our instinctive affinity for patterns. We are spoon fed what we want without having to articulate what we want, so we "choose" only what we could have ever chosen. The ancient, unconscious, pattern-seeking brain is being exploited for profit, whereas the profiteers are carful to mitigate the risk of the customer using his slow, careful, thoughtful brain to make real choices. And WE, the customers, the voters, the potential proselytes, are increasingly anesthetized to this auto comfort. It is confirmation bias on steroids. "Rely not on your own understanding." Chilling.
