AI will finally allow us to bring 1984's Telescreens into existence, at scale.
Do people not realize we're beyond 1984? In 1984 the tech wasn't always listening, rather it had the capacity to. Much of it was about how not knowing meant you'd act as if you were just in case. It was making reference to totalitarian states where you don't know if you can freely talk to your neighbor or if they'd turn you in, where people end up creating a double speak
Maybe in data collection, but no one's watching.
With AI, someone can always be watching you. It's really the killer app for AI.
