I'm pretty sure that only applies due to a majority of people being morons. There's a vast gap between the 2% most intelligent, 1/50, and the average intelligence.

Also please put digital text on white on black instead of the other way around

What? Intelligent people get fooled all the time. The NXIVM cult was made up mostly of reasonably intelligent women. Shit that motherfucker selected for intelligent women.

You're not immune. Even if you were, you're incredibly dependent on people of average to lower intelligence on a daily basis. Our planet runs on the average intelligence.

I agree, but that doesn't change anything, right? Even if you are in the 2% most intelligent and you're somehow immune, you still have to live with the rest who do get influenced by AI. And they vote. So it's never just a they problem.
