'AI isn't a threat to humanity — it is humanity': a case against the tech-human dichotomy
dikbisqit · reddit · 2026-09-26
The author argues the AI-risk debate starts from the wrong premise: there's no fundamental dichotomy between technology and humans. Technology is an extension of us, not a separate entity with its own will.
Key points: AI and human wills are entangled—like every tool, it can be used for good or harm but can't be fundamentally opposed to us because it's a product of us. AI is the next step in the evolution of information technology, and thus part of human evolution. It isn't an alien force; the risks come from human choices.
