AI ethicist Dan Faggella argues people misconceive ecological 'thriving' as perfect balance and harmony, when it's actually the hurling forth of new minds, body plans and powers — an ever-expanding richness of the living process. The harmony framing makes 'humans living peacefully with robots forever' seem viable; the real meaning of thriving demands far greater preparation.
