Unlike all those you mentioned, you give AI all your precise information that serves people who don't want you to be free. You give away your way of thinking, your habits, your data, your worries and weaknesses, some even give away the ways in which you keep your money like bitcoin and properties. This is ammunition for dictators and corporations who want to guide slaves into a way of thinking and remove from society those they think are dangerous.
Haven't computers and a big tech be doing the same for decades now? Sucking information and drive viral ads to people aiming to spend days sliding infinite scrolls?
I simply see ai as the exponential expression of this corporate evil behavior. Yes we could have started earlier, removing tv from our homes, ad blockers in our computers. Most of the people ignore all this and now are trap using tech like heroin addicted to a feels-needed plug to society.

Interesting. Has it truly been that for you? For me it's been more like a Swiss army knife or multitool. Just have to be thoughtful about what you use.

How do we fix that? How do we empower people? What if they don't wanna?

Unfortunately, and I say this with regret, not everyone wants or will have this freedom. When the normal thing is not to give a damn about your privacy, sharing your entire way of thinking and acting with completely useless technology will be the normal thing. What you can do, you do for yourself and for those you care about. Social networks and anything decentralized is good, but nothing replaces acquired knowledge. Whether it's online, through books, guides, articles and courses, or through formal education. Knowledge and human connections ennoble us.
Ps: I'm not talking about you @optimism, but because I know that people will read your question and then my answer. It's a joint construction.

The dystopian technologies of fiction don't seem so fictional nowadays, just as they don't have that air of technology that we see. They're blending into normality like a symbiosis.

You made a good point, big tech did this long before AI. It's just that now they have the help of something that takes not only attention, but also trust, the core.
