Yes absolutely, AI pretty much only intensifies existing trends that humans have come up with on their own in addition to providing a convenient way to outsource agency and accountability. I have no trouble imagining a version of the old Nuremberg defense that has people claiming that they were simply acting on AI-generated recommendations.

I have heard of the Bladerunners and while some claims and numbers sound exaggerated, I obviously hope they're real. I've only been to London once in 2018 and I did feel watched quite a bit, at least in poorer areas, but since then the number of cameras seems to have exploded so what I've seen then must've been nothing compared to now. Chilling indeed.
