I am profoundly, profoundly cynical about this particular development in computing culture.

But your last paragraph resonates with me pretty deeply, and suggests to me that there might be a way forward for me when this becomes unavoidable, which it will.

Frankly I would rather direct my energies away from the accelerating face of dehumanising technologies and towards rehumanising technology through education, but I do recognise I'll eventually have to engage with this just to educate.
