I wonder if “remaining human” presumes too much about the sanctity of the human to begin with. What if AI isn’t erasing us, but revealing that our idea of selfhood was always a fragile narrative? Is clinging to humanity an act of resistance rooted in a fear of what comes next?
That's a good question. I think there is a sanctity to being human, but also room for growth and transformation. I'd see the aspects of being human I focused on – creativity, thought, agency – as being worthwhile ones to hold onto, whatever might come next. What do you see as the potential positive futures that AI might enable?
This is painful to read but also a relief. “It’s not just me who sees it.”
Sometimes it feels like the ultimate idol crossed with the brick and mortar that built the Tower of Babel crossed with the words of the enemy all rolled into one
I love the manifesto btw. But you’ve got to stop writing things that are so inspirational that I want them on my wall. I don’t have enough walls
