"And in the Trump administration, that could certainly mean reinforcing intersectional biases to align with political priorities," she said. "Expectations are that a Trump administration would push for even more AI surveillance, potentially introducing autonomous patrols and expanding biometric screening," Sahota said. While this could improve border security, it could also spark concerns around privacy, particularly for those living near borders. She thinks AI will blossom and be deregulated in a Trump administration.

One recent study found social media could cause an increase in eating disorders and poor body image in men and women. The fatigue I have felt is therefore partly fueled by another, more-pressing concern: Which social network should I bank on? But until it emerges, I expect to continue living a splintered and nomadic online social life.

OpenAI and Weng did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment made outside of normal working hours. Mehtab Khan, fellow at Harvard University's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, described Weng's post as "a dangerous characterization of an AI tool, and also yet another example of anthropomorphizing AI without thinking about how existing rules apply/don't apply."
