New Yorker cartoon 'Shall I summarize?' goes viral as scholar argues AI relationships will replace human ones

danfaggella shares a New Yorker cartoon of a robot interrupting two people with "Would you like me to summarize this discussion?"—and argues it's unironically accurate: any important conversation only counts if it becomes part of his exocortex. He predicts relationships will shift toward other people's AIs and eventually AIs themselves, and asks whether what moves beyond humanity will be an unconscious prosthetic or a participant in life's blooming process.
