Why is this scary? Is it bc author might be you or people around you?

I live in a world where neither is likely to happen.. (the scariest thing would be that someone believes an autism diagnosis)

But I need your (human) help at putting words to precisely why.. :)

"Society can believe that AI is harmless-- they are right! (TARS from Interstellar) A different, (more, or less liberal-ist?) society can believe AI can be harmful. They are also right!"

That's where I'm at, it doesn't sell yet, that's why I need help with the messaging too

(TIL from TFA's AI-succubus: fans of Hardy Boys needed a Mills&Boons crossover in their teens! )

		not a terrible point. But experience does say that organic minds tire easily, and inorganic minds are inefficient-- a bad UX makes the user feel judged, but a good UX hides the makers' externalities :) The still-alive-centrist who's not terrified of mirrors! (Different from Stoker's undead)
