it is also about the fact that these computer systems are being conditioned to reflect the views of the organizations that created them

And people aren't? Have you spoken with a Trump supporter recently? They are far more programmed than any modern AI engine. I'd take any modern AI programming them over whoever's currently doing it.

I do agree with you that this will probably be a problem in the future, but for the time being, for those people at least, I do think it's a net positive.

I did say that it's another avenue to influence how people think. Even if it were a small net positive right now, which I would argue that it's not but I digress, it's only serving to strengthen people's dependence and trust of the systems which will overwhelmingly likely be used to control them in the future.
