"AI is the greatest advancement for democracy."

Heard in the wild from a tech guy a few years ago after Elmo had bought some AI language translation firm and announced it makes "information accessible for all". He was hyped, hyped for it.

A few months ago he told me that AI will destroy the world and spesifically his job.

Haven't asked him how he thinks all this is going recently because can't handle the takes anymore.
