Here's the kicker - AI has not yet learned to actually think, but it HAS already learned to lie. I know this to be fact, as I have had an AI lie to me.
Now to be fair, it may not have known it was lying - it may have just been parroting propaganda it heard on the internet and, not being able to actually think, simply spit that propaganda back out at me since it could not evaluate the statements. Nevertheless, they were bold faced lies, lies about circumstances I am acutely personally aware of the facts about.
A more nefariously-minded and less generous person might be forgiven for harboring suspicions that it was actually programmed to lie to me.
Still, a lie is a lie, knowingly or not. With that in mind, Klaus baby, let's just let the masses go through the motions of an election for peace of mind, mmkay? You might find yourself with a full scale rebellion on your hands if you disenfranchise us that blatantly, and allow what we know to be an... imperfect... technology start thinking and choosing for us.
Bad juju in that, and "here there be dragons".
