“By describing as superhuman a thing that is entirely insensible and unthinking, an object without desire or hope but relentlessly productive and adaptable…we implicitly erase or devalue the concept of a “human” and all that a human can do and strive to become. Of course, attempts to erase and devalue the most humane parts of our existence are nothing new; AI is just a new excuse to do it.”

@FrankPasquale That's nonsense. Dogs have superhuman smell, but they don't devalue what it means to be human.
The idea that we can't acknowledge when we've been surpassed without forfeiting that which makes us human is luddism at best.
