Very interesting find which can have one ponder about some ideas on the perspective that nothing is really new, just changing shapes. Even if you consider the advent of AI and us striving to build higher intelligence models to me it all just seems to be stemming from solving problems via abstractions (shortcuts) using evolving frameworks of logic and math. Eventually our interest to automate things and discover all the secret sauce of problem solving got us here. However regarding Seneca you might imagine that a long while ago information retrieval wasn't that efficient and required significant amount of patience and planning which one might argue is being "optimized away" with the technology nowadays. This seems to correspond to how our brain works by optimizing energy expenditure. I remember reading somewhere that such optimization is in principle what causes us to make premature assumptions so that we don't have to do the heavy lifting by thoroughly digesting all the information that is being presented to us which is probably what we can experience in peer interactions or just skimming through those articles and comments daily.
