In regards to Sydney Redpath's opinion (Why AI won't replace professional communicators and storytellers) there are huge potential problems with who is and will ultimately control AI.
My concerns are that if a future professional storyteller similar to Adolf Hitler ever gets control of AI, civilization as we know it will disappear.
To quote Hitler:
"Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state."
"Tell a lie loud enough and long enough and people will believe it."
"If you wish the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things."
"What luck, for government, that people are stupid."
"Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than the fear of sudden death."
"It is not the truth that matters but victory."
On second thought, after rereading these awful quotes I wonder if some professional storyteller already has control of AI.
Who is controlling what textbooks that can be read and not read?
Who is repeatedly telling the most lies?
Who are the lucky governments that think people are stupid?
Who is telling crude and awful stories with no proof?
Who are the real terrorists?
Who is winning the war?
I could offer an opinion on my questions, but whoever controls AI would not agree with my answers.
I am just a simple storyteller that tries to speak the truth, but my voice is being buried.
I do not control AI.
The real question is: who controls AI now and who will control it in the future?
