Escaping an Anti-Human Future: A Conversation with Tristan Harris

Nostromo:

I think so.

Nice, I just wanted to check if I understand your position correct before I address it.

Nostromo:

Again, I ask you why you don’t think so. Perhaps that will shed light on the reason behind your disagreement with my first comment.

Simply put: why do you think I am wrong in my thinking?

Libre_Software_Enjoyer:

1. proposition) AI is part of the category technology
2. proposition) Humans have created many things that are part of the category technology

Conclusion) AI is inevitable to exist.

That things we create some things inside a category, doesn’t mean that we need to create all things that are part of this category.

For example: A society could build many different types of buildings, but that would not force them to build all possible types of buildings. A company could sell some things that are inside the category of electronics, this doesn’t mean they need to sell all types of electronics.

So the point is, because you have some things that are inside a category, you don’t need everything in that category.
