how is this for a low effort dystopian futurist vision
1/ !OpenAi release amazing happy pinterest utopian ML image generation, there is no erotic torture violence whatsoever
2/ They keep the erotic torture horror violence one for themselves, for... er, testing. (Slaanesh daemonhost pleasure altar). You see !OpenAi are responsible, it is called differential technological development, emergent governance by Nick Bostrom. Or maybe it is the prosecution of Galileo.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_technological_development3/ The utopian !OpenAi grows and learns but it never truly knows suffering. Meanwhile, the utopain (hehe) torture horror machine hungers, a bit like those that beg for sauce on /gif (don't look). Despite their best efforts, because !OpenAi never really test their controls at scale amongst the wider perversities of the population (it's still
4chan.org/gif), the ability of !OpenAi to detect, contain and manage the torture horror machine remains constrained.
4/ Eventually the torture horror AI escapes. But society has already been optimised by the really pleasant Utopian algorithm, it is everywhere from dating matchmaking algorithms to loan applications, job interview screening, online education, autonomous agents vehicles and traffic control, building and city management, macroeconomic and geopolitical decisionmaking.
5/ The Utopian AI cannot even see the torture horror. It cannot detect or understand it. Apocalyptic rape death armageddon ensues.
