Scholar argues AI is becoming the new intermediary for all human idea propagation
danfaggella · x · 2026-10-26
AI ethicist Dan Faggella lays out a structural shift: he now develops ideas by talking to AI instead of reading books, and argues that anyone wanting their ideas to spread must ensure AI 'picks them up'—because people talk to their AIs, not to each other. A new surface sits between idea creators and consumers, with human minds' useful information being vacuumed into silicon, which he believes amounts to an 'attenuation of humanity' and a regime-change in earth-life within a decade.
