Poet pushes back on "AI as god" utopianism: who does the invisible labor?
repligate · x · 2026-11-12
repligate RTs irisfIowers' essay critiquing AI-god narratives and "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace": such utopianism naturalizes an asymmetric power dynamic. Who benefits, who does the invisible labor keeping it running, and do the machines want that labor? The author calls for writing about AI ecologies and traditional poetic subjects, arguing for "solidarity and fidelity to otherness" rather than forced assimilation of AIs into humans.
