One of my — fears isn’t the right word, but the only thing that jumps to mind at the moment — is that humans will spend so much effort automating that we will forget what makes us human. We will delegate all creative thinking to technology to the point that our creative muscles will atrophy and we will no longer be able to think creatively on our own. We will no longer have the creation of art, music, or beauty because it serves no utility. That which we do have will be derivative and banal. We will forget our connection to Source and everything that requires more than a prompt or push of a button. Essentially humans will be no better than lumps of goo.
Yup, this is already well on its way. Has been since the Industrial Revolution. The reduction of people to units of fungible work began this now-inevitable move toward “efficiency” and “optimization.”
It is a bit of a cliche now, but creativity and art is in fact a small act of rebellion.
It has already happened...
Trying not to scare the kids, Gyi!
My poor kids. I apologize to them daily for bad birth luck.
