“I’m really worried about what artificial intelligence is going to do to the culture,” a woman I know told me recently at a party. “I’m concerned that AI is going to make us lose the things that make us human.”

I nodded in sympathetic agreement, which is what I do when I vehemently disagree. I’m not trying to be mean here, but the woman who was so concerned about losing the things that “make us human” is probably sporting about $100,000 worth of elaborate plastic surgery.
