AI Is Part of Civilization, Not a Separate Species
sebkrier · x · 2026-07-11
This repost expresses a clear viewpoint: **Through long-term division of labor, humanity has formed a highly advanced material civilization, and AI should be viewed as an integral part of this civilization rather than an independent "species."** The core message is that when discussing AI, we shouldn't abstract it as an entity entirely disconnected from humanity. Instead, we should understand it within the context of human civilizational evolution, collaborative division of labor, and technological systems.
