About a Man Who Set Out to Scalp AI
There was a time when he was proud to be the philosopher in the shadow of the machine, dissecting AI with the sharp scalpel of critical thinking. But as the AI era progressed, he found that he was no longer sharpening his questions but simply accepting its provided answers -polished, convenient, unquestionable. He did not miss the irony: he had become its most willing victim by criticizing the advance of automation.
It wasn’t that his critical thinking disappeared; it just atrophied, quietly displaced by the seductive efficiency of pre-chewed insights. He realized, perhaps too late, that when you trade reflection for convenience, you don’t just lose effort — you also lose depth.
Kant once argued that “enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed immaturity.” Now, in the age of AI, he wondered if maturity had been sold off lock, stock, and barrel.
Sometimes, I feel like an outmatched philosopher in the shadow of machines, desperately trying to dissect AI with a sharp scalpel.
