> Also "writing a shopping list for a party" can be boring (or at least I might definitely enjoy some external support), it doesn't turn me into a cog of the "system", or does it? It is a step in that direction. It is one tiny step to making you less dependent on others. Yes, that single step may not seem like much, but over time, it transforms the social act of a party further towards being a commodity. More resources and more energy are put to use so that you are less likely to ask another person for help. And then there's the matter of having to interact more and more with technology, and spend less time without it, which itself transforms you into a person more habitauted to interact technologically. Perhaps the next step will be a party where some of the participants are AI, or where some of your friends join by virtual reality. Or perhaps some of them will have an AI assistant that will help them complete their sentences so that they don't have to be fully present, or it will help them show the pictures they took, lots of which have been AI augmented. The point is that all these small steps lead to the greater mechanization of the human being, which destroys the possibility of more genuine relationships and community. |
