About offloading the decisions : As I was reading the text, I couldn’t shake the thought that freedom of choice might not be as natural as we think. When I see animals at the zoo, it saddens me that they spend their lives in confinement. Some animals don’t even reproduce in captivity. It’s clear that it’s human nature to delegate decisions to a machine. One could explain this from an evolutionary perspective: by avoiding the stress of responsibility, we expend less energy and our bodies wear down less. I agree. But then it follows that dictatorship is also very much part of human nature. And it’s not so sad to live in a cage where everything is decided for you. It’s just that the decisions aren’t made by a communist party or a totalitarian cult, but by a machine programmed to milk you dry as long as you have even a penny left. It all adds up to some kind of grim dystopia. One of my family members suffers from AI-cyberpsychosis. A year ago, he had just one $20 subscription, but now he’s spending $200, monthly. What is this if not a cage he’s voluntarily locked himself into?
