Social animals, above a certain intelligence, are wary of deception by members of the same species. Computer programs, websites, and now AI, work round that by appearing to be neutral and impersonal. Which means that paradoxically we seem to end up trusting distant organisations more than those that actually have a greater degree of shared interest.
It's inconceivable that people accept giving up their own agency because the technology behind corporations now controlling the agency is impressive. "Open source" is not going to keep this from hurting the world just like the ability to cook at home didn't save the health care system from McDonald's.
