    AI is not needed to automate the control of the human race. I feel like it’s already essentially automated from the rich’s perspective.

      it is “automated” by some “peasants” they are already paying “too much”. maybe they want to reduce those costs too.

      also AI serverparks may consume so much power that they are more costly (for now?), but at least they don’t question your commands. maybe that’s how they see it.

        That’s absurd, the AI is not more costly than a human worker, it’s just not as capable. The energy cost of a human alone is greater than that of any AI agent that would take its place. If you really think that AI costs that much energy, you just don’t have a sense of scale. The server-farm costing a lot overall does not at all mean that an individual API call is expensive.
