   Freedom is an end in and of itself. You don't have to show that a freedom will benefit a person in another way for it to have value.

   Did all the dictators get together and decide on the phrase "national security" as the go to when implementing authoritarian laws?

   If this was true, why is photoshop a thing?

   You don't have anything to backup your assertion (or even have the possibility of evidence, before what you are assertion is what's in the mind of people).

   When I browse through a fashion magazine, most models are unknown to me, they might as well be AI-gen.

   The people that you know that tries to sell you cloth comprise a small fraction of people-images that you are exposed to.

   Your reasoning is that people are stupid and therefore you should manipulate them 'for their own good' because they have no self-agency and self-responsibility.

   Needless to say, people who think like this make terrible dictators when given the chance.

    And that's a good thing.

    Only a matter of time before AI-powered 'prose anonymiser' is developed.

    Then you can just run all your naughty words through the russian styliser.

    Because to do backbreaking work, labour demands $200 million.

    the current low price of produce is subsidised by cheap illegal immigrant labour. Just like how the spartans spent their time being warriors while their slaves toiled the field.
