AI summarizes existing knowledge but creates no fundamentally new content.

AI simply summarizes. The actual content is not new. Knowledge has simply become more readily accessible, for good and for bad. These ideas are nothing new. They have been part of political fiction, academic debate and public discourse for years. What’s different is that AI systems can now surface them instantly and in a cohesive manner. The risk is not in having large language models but in having humans act on plans that may not be in the best interest of the majority.
