      Yep.

      The wealthy are pushing it because a lot of the dumbest will readily off load any critical thinking they can

      Which makes them worse at critical thinking, and more unlikely to want to unload it. And it just keeps going like that. Making dumb people dumber all the time

      100% intentional, but the AI users simply can’t understand what’s happening.
