I was recently made aware of this thesis/argument from Cory Doctorow entitled, "The Reverse Centaur Guide to Criticizing AI (before it's too late)"..:

Many things can be and need to be said about the Reverse Centaur argument, but let me at least do the quick-and-dirty clarification that the anti-Reverse Centaur movement is not equal to the Butlerian Jihad.

How to interpret all of that is left as an exercise for you, Dear Reader.

Anil Dash @anildash: “It's telling that the creators of so many of the AI tools don't even have enough confidence in their offerings to simply let users choose to adopt them, and are instead forcing them into users' faces in every possible corner of their apps and websites.

“If, as they say, AI tools are going to get better quickly, then let them do so and trust that smart people will pick them up and use them. If you think your workers and colleagues are too stupid to recognize good tools that will help them do their jobs better, then... you are a bad leader and should step down. Because you've created a broken culture.”
