That our governments are complicit, that we ourselves are complicit through our taxes, that those who are silent are complicit, that intl law is complicit, that we are repeating history…again.

The new OpenAI creative writing bot's "short story" has the phrase "democracy of ghosts". It's the sort of phrase that would make me stop and admire it, if I were reading a human author - which, it turns out, I was, because it's from Nabokov's 1957 novel "Pnin".
