Trust The Algorithm:
A possible dystopian future and surveillance state where AI runs society and constantly repeats everywhere“trust the algorithm.” You must obey every aspect of life. Comply and keep privileges — don’t comply, and you quietly disappear. Free will is effectively illegal. The algorithm controls everything you do when you eat, sleep, work, socialise, go out, have children, and how to raise them. It would look like a perfect world with perfect people — disguised as a digital prison it would be a living hell. Those born into it will never know anything different.
Warning: This is already starting to happen— YouTube algorithms are subtly pushing us online already.

Lee: Bruv, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. Every time I go on YouTube, it tells me what to watch… what to buy. I can’t even decide for myself anymore LOL.
Frank: That’s nothing yet, bruv. Just wait until the future, AI will control everything in everyday life.
Lee: Really, bruv? LOL.
Frank: Yeah, bruv. What you eat. Where you go. What you think. And all you’ll will hear, all day, every day is— trust the algorithm, trust the algorithm LOL.
Lee: LOL.
