AI simply fills the void created by capitalist relations that erode human connection, breeding alienation that leaves people isolated, adrift, and emotionally starved.
It’s a hollowed-out shell of communal life, where AI chatbots have become digital opioids providing addictive facsimiles of human relationships. These are symptoms of societal collapse, where atomization drives the masses to seek solace in algorithms.

He's not wrong.
It's a lot easier to control someone who's stupider than you. And women want to be in control: It's what makes them feel safe and secure, since they can't get that the same way men can, based on physical dominance.
That makes them natural control freaks. It's a survival trait.
It's also why so many of them are leftists.

problem is though, the "vast majority" have no views on anything... except maintaining, or improving, their current level of comfort
That makes right AND left, both, look like extremists, regardless of the actual malignant or beneficial nature of right or left views.
Appealing to majority "consensus" when consensus is, for all intents and purposes, status quo complacency isn't a viable path forward, not any longer.
