It's not helpful to use the fact that the world already sucks to handwave a major force multiplier for the elements that will make it suck much worse much more suddenly.
Advertising is not likely to go anywhere but we do have an opportunity to nurture significant skepticism about AI before it's too late and becomes as entrenched in the world as Google and social media.
Good catch but there is a consistent point I'm making. If the world sucks because of Google etc. then it's counterproductive to use that fact to downplay a new danger, and productive (in my opinion) to write it off so as to focus on a new danger that's still possible to avoid.
