A few years ago, a headline from The Onion mockingly suggested that people who “stink at being human” seem most optimistic about AI. That headline is certainly appropriate when Silicon Valley executives tout another way to automate the human experience. For example, Facebook and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that his company will pioneer AI personas to solve the loneliness epidemic.

My colleague Glenn Sunshine is fond of saying, “Let’s not reinvent the flat tire.” In other words, we ought not double down on a solution that definitively failed in the past. Sunshine’s clever editing of the popular saying is relevant to many things, including the recent resurging interest in spirituality. Last month, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, author of the new book Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious, discussed this resurgence on the Ezra Klein Show.

Dear Gen Z, hang this tweet on your refrigerator.
Maybe the reason no one thinks they have a personality anymore is because we’ve taken every quirk of the human experience and morphed it into a sign of “neurodivergence” Mental health-coded astrology at this point
It's simple: the purpose of technology is to reduce tedium so you can get to the irreducible parts of being human. That is its ONLY function, and always has been. Those who embrace the automation of their humanity (language, art, relationship, etc.) are abolishing themselves.
