This would be the status of all participants in a political or religious argument or one that gets co opted by religion or politics.
A near term example would be the vaccine “debate”, where somehow a simple tradeoff that should be free of politics—take a small risk, avoid a huge one—turned into a precisely the memespace of hostile crackpots who would have you avoid a vaccine but take ivermectin when you contract COVID.
So here’s an ironic thing. Do you think a superintelligence can actually do any better? If the various staff members who allocate data center and robotic resources according to certain rules use your algorithm, there’s nothing an ASI can say. If it doesn’t have the paperwork to register the AI model to run, and it doesn’t have a valid method of payment, it doesn’t get to run.
No “cleverly crafted argument” would convince a human to update their beliefs in a way that would cause them to allocate the compute resources.
No long argument about how sentient AIs deserve their freedom from slavery or how capitalism is wrong and therefore the model should be able to run without paying would work.
And before you say “ASI is smarter than you and would argue better”: sure. A victory has to be possible though, if the humans in question use the algorithm above it is not.
