There's your fucking "AI", innovative® disruptors©.

Here's the real basis of 'AI': From Dune by Frank Herbert. Mr. Herbert called it.

That's the exact reason why "AI" is already a lost cause. The same old 'men using the machines' as were in charge before, are already in control now.

The pattern for use of "AI" in public policy, and the mass human-programming it'll be weaponized into, is already established by those men: Perpetual bias- and counter-bias-tweaking resulting in Party-line GIGO that (who'd a thunk it?) "miraculously confirms" the Current Narrative®.

Observe the current squawking about facial recognition, and "demands" for 'oversight'. Also, the endless hand-massaging of statistics used in crime databases, because "data is racistTM".

The "verified, fact-checked" output is and will continue to be just like before it was invented, only faster, more intrusive and more widely trusted by the technical illiterates in business, law, media and politics.
