As Eric Raymond (ESR) says, AI is a force multiplier. My elaboration: If you are good at what you do, it will let you do accomplish more good stuff faster. If you are not very bright, AI will let you be not bright more efficiently, but it won't make you bright. It's just a tool. It needs to be utilized correctly. There is no shortage of things in this world that can do tremendous damage if not used properly. AI is nothing new in that regard.

I'm surprised you didn't use the word "slop". Spewing a bunch of slogans that would have to be more clever to make it on to bumper stickers makes you look like the people you are complaining about. There are legitimate criticisms to make about AI, and ways to support and defend those arguments. You are not doing that.

No, you're confusing the definition of censorship with what restraints on free speech are constitutional.

Oh, now you are trying to nitpick?

You are the one who said, "Censorship means suppression of speech or expression by a governing authority." which is a really dumb thing to say, otherwise "government censorship" or "self-censorship" wouldn't be terms.

Censorship is a problem when you are not free to express an idea.

The form of the idea can be limited without it being censorship: for example, you can't protest with a bullhorn in the middle of the night.

Free speech doesn't mean everyone has to listen to you, it means the people who want to listen to you are able to. Youtube demonetizing a video is not censorship. Removing videos because they don't like the ideas in the videos is the worst kind of censorship, because they are trying to control you.

It's not hard to make a computer that is unbeatable in Starcraft, because the computer can click perfectly every time. According to your link:

the unauthorized version of Pluto was additionally modified to use a maphack...During some games, Pluto reached several thousand actions per minute... the bot used its micro to surround and neutralize Mutalisks... the bot simultaneously fought in multiple areas of the map, precisely micro-managed its units

So yeah, that kind of clicking (and maybe perfect information, or maybe not) gives the computer a massive advantage, it doesn't even need a neural network to win.

Meta/Multiverse was a propaganda tool, not an important technology. Timeline:

1) Facebook stopped making new things, pursuing enshittification as the primary strategy.
2) Facebook pissed off Democrats with Cambridge Analytics, and pissed off Republicans with censorship.
3) Doesn't matter how much of that was true, both parties were pissed off and threatening regulation/antitrust at Facebook in a bipartisan way.
4) Facebook promised COOL NEW TECHNOLOGY and name change. They also scaled up political donations in a bipartisan way.
5) The threats largely went away.
6) The COOL NEW TECHNOLOGY went away.
