Starting to think that Pluribus is a criticism of AI (hexbear.net)

Just finished the third episode. Early comments were that it was a show about a "woke mind virus" or regular Burgerlander anti-communism, but I'm not so sure now.

spoilerProtagonist had her drunk rant about "why are you so special, you think you're all so great, knowing everything about everyone all the time, the amalgamation of all human knowledge and understanding SO WHAT" etc etc. Paraphrasing obviously.

I'm starting to think that this whole thing might be a big rant from Gilligan about AI. In the sense that it attempts to amalgamate all human knowledge and experience into one giant blob that we all share from together, but at the cost what makes us all unique as human beings.

I could be wrong - it's still early in the show, but that's the vibe I get at this point and it definitely strikes the nerve that Gilligan seems to be feeling at the moment.

They did put a "This show was made by humans" disclaimer at the very beginning, after all.

That would be part or the critique - taking the stereotypical American idea of communism to its extreme and then asking "what's so wrong with this, even if what you believe about it is even true?"

saying Stalin is a mass murderer

Again, part of the critique - Carol is the chauvinistic American in this story, these are the things Americans believe.

thats not critique, thats just making things up.

it is never given a counter in the episode. it is not critique, it is just what the show believes to be true
