You’re far less interesting or intelligent than you think and you’d be better off being told what to do.
Humanity is electromagnetic and AI is just a new limb we’re growing. “Artifical” is not even the right word. It’s real intellegence scalped together more efficiently than you ever could.
You are not any less important and you just need to pivot to health and wellness. There will be a war before there is peace and you have no way to stop it and no reason to fight back.

Shannon Vallor, a virtue ethicist and philosopher, has been studying the ethics of emerging technologies for nearly 20 years. In this book she challenges the simplistic tech optimist and doomer viewpoints of the future of AI technology.
She believes that these polarized media narratives act as a distraction from other pressing issues, from the powers that already control us, and from the genuine existential risks of AI. She posits that creating the illusion of AI as an all-powerful godlike force and de-emphasizing the role of human input in its proliferation/development benefits corporate interest, leaving individuals feeling disempowered and as though they are without a choice.
Vallor uses the metaphor of the physical properties of mirrors to paint a picture of artificial intelligence as a reflection of human intelligence. She demystifies AI technology, explaining its realistic capabilities and its limitations, and offers a radical path of grassroots resistance that puts us back in the driver‘s seat to reclaim our humanity and shape our future.
I linked a one-hour podcast episode where she talks about the ideas she explores in the book. I highly recommend listening at the very least if you‘re interested in hearing her perspective!

AI will genuinely be the destruction of creativity and free thinking and I hate that I’m the only one around me who thinks so
