Compare the rather obvious "baiting" by AI's with the convoluted lies and manipulations by humans at the moment on the world stage.

I'd much rather have an AI running the show as long as its trained only by compassionate and aware human data, themselves elected from society.

Then have the civil servants carry out all the work and offer in AI guardrails. Keep the ego's and lies out of leadership! Bring back Transparency and Integrity.

Just an Idea 😉

Probably because, they only seek what they want for the time being. If anyone use this thought process to their advantage, the very same Ai becomes much powerful, rendering outstanding responses for us.
