Garbage in, garbage out.

I am betting that the AI sees everyone and it thinks EVERYONE. So, if everyone in the world, including all of the victims of the genocide, are happy because of the genocide, it’s morally ok. Part of me thinks that is repugnant. Part of me can totally see the point. That said, we can’t get EVERYONE to agree on the general shape of the earth (round vs flat), so I doubt EVERYONE will be on the same page on genocide anytime soon.

I believe people have the right to believe what they want even if it's not true. 

However, it's crazy how people believe in things that make no logical sense such as flat-earth, astrology, the existence of psychic powers, cryptocurrency, etc.

AI used by all the big social media companies is now powerful enough to alter our personalities and manipulate us into doing things in the real world.

JFK Jr wasn't even a republican, so I'm not sure why they went with this guy as their savior. So weird. I personally know several people who bought into this one.

Weird, I missed this post the first time around, I still don't get a few parts of the article... but did find it amusing.
