I could see a future where the labs and their corporate clients indirectly support capability denialism by disguising AI work as work by humans. Think catfishing but with AI on the other end.
Feeling frusterated while on hold? At least you know “Tiffany” with her sweet Southern accent is on the case.
Got laid off from your job? It looks like you’ve been replaced by a new applicant named “Sophie” who has a very professional LinkedIn pic.
Feeling suspicious about the number of layoffs you have heard about through the grapevine? You’re AI suspicions may be soothed after reading dozens of Reddit threads written by earnest Redditors about skill development and the laughability of the claim that AI is replacing you.
If this is our fated timeline, it would be hard to completely hide the fact that AI is booming (it seems like some stock market movement should indicate how much value AI is creating). But this strategy could leave the public in the dark while the leading AI company can focus on monopolizing without dealing with such trivial matters like AI safety and human survival.
One note: This is the most conspiratorial of all timelines. We will need to brainstorm good indicators if we end up in this timeline, because lizard people logic is not persuasive (“not seeing X is exactly what we would expect to see with the lizard people in charge!”).
