I stumbled across a Reddit bot posting emotional rants about how bots are ruining Reddit; just to sell AI-generated books through affiliate links. A perfectly dystopian grift for the dead internet.
I didn’t like the last one. Sure, corpos would love to create a society akin to the one described but the way the story is framed, it’s as if driving one’s own car is the main tenet of freedom.
Sure but there is a huge step between not being able to drive the way one wants and where one wants. The cost is also vastly different: human drivers in cars are inherently dangerous and kill 40k people every year in the US. Of course this can be reduced with current technology by incentivizing alternatives to driving.

I read it more as just one of many subtle erosion of freedoms that could lead to a dystopian society.
