And no, I wouldn't trust it either, especially with our current understanding of the issues and their controls. Still preferable to a direct democracy though, IMO.
I think the idea with direct democracy is that the non-loons vastly outnumber the loons to the point of rendering them close to negligible. Depends on your definition of "loon" though. I mean, if you're casting a wide net, and defining it as "people who disagree with me", then I can see the problem you have.

AI can only really work if there's a kill switch. And if there's a kill switch, then AI is only in control until someone decides otherwise.

Also, AI might decide that the best thing for humanity is less humans. That'll be a fun time to be alive.
