AI indulges us, consumes us. Its appeal gives us the comforts and conveniences we learn to seek. To get satisfaction from interaction with a model, you need to perform your predictable self. It becomes almost impossible to step out, to live frictionfully. Our autonomy is at stake.
Philosopher Miriam Rasch argues that complete removal of friction means standing still. A completely predictable future is no future, but a continuous present. In a world where even our deepest desires can be foreseen, where we have lost our autonomy, we long for what remains beyond the domain of data, algorithms and databases and AI.

This turns out to be spam for a book.
Huh? This is a link to an essay, unless I’m entirely missing something
Scroll to the end, and anyway it’s a poor fit for the technology community.
This article could do with a Bottom Line Up Front. I got halfway through the page and I still had no idea what problem it was trying to solve by adding new problems.
Well, thanks for not incorrectly calling the post spam and downvoting it at least lol
It is spam, scroll to the end and it promotes a book.
By that logic every news website is spam, because those also contain ads.
I agree the article is without much merit. But calling it spam because it also appears in a book and it mentions that source, is just diluting the term.
