You can see the absolute disdain for human interaction and social structure, for human creativity and agency. They treat everyday communication as pointless. There's no self-respecting way to use it because doing so cedes that your presence is always ancillary and optional.

These people are extreme functionalists, bordering on nihilism. From their perspective, human interaction is no more meaningful than a plant growing toward sunlight. Their grand vision of the future is eschatological. Life without life. Humans optional - only prompts and responses remain.

Why bother risking a social faux pas when you can let the machine produce all the right responses for you? Don't bother reading for yourself; let us remove all that pesky nuance and complexity so you can go about doing nothing with your day. Let the machine be productive while you rot into soft goo

I keep seeing people arguing that this technology becoming ubiquitous and pervasive and intruding on our daily existence is inevitable and if so, I think so is our extinction, and it will be well earned. If we cede the territory of our selves, we render ourselves superfluous.
