I do not think the hype will even make it to the end of the year.

This AI is 'good enough' to watch cameras and examine YOUR behavior, so no, it will not die by the end of the year. The holy grail of controlling the population is being offered to your masters. They will NOT pass this up.

We've seen plenty of corruption elsewhere in government, at all levels, but never in the oval office.

*cough* Watergate *cough* Iran Contra *cough* FSLIC *cough* *cough*

Sorry, had to clear my throat there.

Ok, so what about Nixon and Reagan dealing with 'enemies' prior to their elections? Hm, noticing a pattern of Republicanism here. Is Trump really any different than other Republicans? Or is it merely a matter of volume?

Weak. My iPad2 hasn't had an update in well over a decade. In fact, the last update for it, that I skipped, was designed to kill the battery. My iPad2 stills stay charged for over a month at idle. Can't do anything with such a locked down device, but it is useful for playing backgammon and cribbage while on the toilet.

The productivity gains are not there

Productivity does not matter. That is not the killer use of AI.

Monitoring your behavior is the ultimate use of AI. That will be paid for. By you. There is no AI bubble. It will grow by a factor of 100 and still not be done growing until every single camera and microphone is included in the processing. Your taxes will pay for this.

The question is not "IF" the AI bubble is going to burst, but "WHEN".

I offer a contrary opinion: The AI bubble will not burst because the US Government will pay for it. Why would they pay for it? To monitor all of the video cameras and microphones strewn about.

Long story short, AI will be your new taskmaster. Everything you do will be to please AI; otherwise, you will end up in a work-camp, erm, I mean private prison. Flock, Ring, your phone, etc will all be tied in to this. Do you have any idea how much compute will be needed to achieve this supposed utopia? Datacenters will be built. You will pay for your own leash. Enjoy.

At that point we might be looking at the implementation of the Great American Firewall, and the United States would no longer be a representative democracy.

The USA is already NOT a representative democracy. I am uncertain why you think it still is. When Citizens United was decided, representative democracy was condemned. We have seen the results.

Americans are not free. Most are shackled to debt in hope of buying happiness, working jobs they don't want to. They work longer hours, have less holidays and earn less than many countries in the western world. Many Americans are poorly educated, obese and unwell, they suffer a variety of addictions drugs, alcohol, food, social media. They have no public healthcare provision, disregard for the environment and their lifespan is reducing. Half of Americans hate the other half, because they are led by the most selfish, greedy and ruthless who are respected like peasants respect a king, the other half are trying to protect themselves from the other half. Americans have been engaged in some kind of war somewhere since their country's formation and when not fighting overseas they often shoot each other, kids included.

Aside from all of that, USA is still the best. Ra ra ra! USA! USA! USA! (vomit)

You failed to mention the worst part: Rule of Law is a thing of the past.
