Here's an ethics conundrum for you. If AI can conclude (which it has) that Elon is a significant purveyor of misinformation, if AI itself could suppress misinformation, should it?

How much agency are we attributing to an algorithm?
AI doesn’t currently have agency, so the Q can be restated “should we use an accurate algorithm to suppress mis-info?” I think that’s permissible, and maybe even a good idea. Lots of qualifications are bubbling up, for me, though.
It is an interesting q. Lots of qualification Qs bubble up for me, too; not the least of which is that we'd de facto enthrone an ethically honest algorithm with agency as a god (at the least).
