Should we take advice from AI?

It’s not clear how many of Fyodor’s readers are actually aware of the human-AI collaboration. When my wife Ruth Gaskovski read the piece about smartphone addiction, she thought it was written by a real person, only to feel “creeped out” when she realized the truth. Why? The text had stirred emotion in her. To discover that it was partly (or mostly?) a machine felt violating.

Emotional resonance and violation of trust is going to be a thing people are desensitised to: Emotions disconnected from ‘the [material] other’ for the ‘idea other’; no trust is possible but one’s experience.

Changing our trust mechanisms for communication is reprogramming our sense of reality.
