“Ground Control is basically what the internet has become. People are told not to trust the government, don’t trust mass media, don’t trust the police, doctors, even each other and we should question anything they say or just call it a lie. However, if it’s a complete stranger posting something online then we are told to believe it, it must be true, no smoke without fire and all that. Social commentators have more followers than credible media so because of that they are being afforded more sway and influence now on public opinion and sentiment and people take what they say at face value. No fact checking going on. Similarly if about 3 people share the same opinion on social media then it’s being interpreted as being the nation’s opinion. It’s very scary! And then if you add fake AI on top of all that, then who knows where we are heading”
