I'm from early Generation X and was raised with the belief that AI and robotics would—finally!—liberate humanity to pursue nobler endeavors: advanced technology, great art, and, most importantly, philosophy.

But reality has turned out bleaker, and it seems to be aligning more closely with the author's darker vision.

To avoid the dopamine collapse, we must reclaim effort as meaning—design systems that enhance human creativity, not replace it; use AI to challenge and collaborate, not merely to create shortcuts; and incorporate friction into learning, art, and problem-solving—not as inefficiency, but as intentional practice.

We must also teach people not only how to use AI, but how to preserve their humanity while using it.

Philosophy is no longer a luxury—it becomes a necessity.

One of the best things you can do is just not use it. There is no way to preserve your humanity while using it, at least not in the long run. Because its nature of mechanizing creativity creates feedback loops in our brains and reduces the magic of having the unclimbed mountain...so to speak. It's like trying to teach your body to feel good after having eaten too much sugar. It is beyond our capabilities and fundamentally incompatible with us.

if liberated, can philosophy really be explored?

expanding fractals. the past in the present and the inverse...

darker vision and negativity bias / optimism bias

u have the freedom of being unhappy with an AI

you still have infinite value

this may be the beauty of being disposable... ;)

I’m preserving my humanity by downvoting this AI slop.
