When Mark Zuckerberg was trying to sell us on Meta verse I kept loudly wondering why he didn't get anyone to write him a compelling argument for why people would want it.

While the "AI" folks give a bunch of examples (mostly saying "you can have cheap machine servants like rich people do") it feels very much the same. The stories are so uncompelling, so ... inhumane?

"You never have to talk to a human" - yeah but that is what makes us human? Like being social?

"You can just generate artworks and stuff" - cool so I can never feel pride about doing something, expressing myself ever again? Great.
