going. So what happens then? I postulate that AIs will communicate on<br>
our behalf, and that this will reduce the amount of time we actually<br>
spend talking to each other directly. On this list, in fact, I've seen<br>
a number of us post AI missives already. I've done it myself. So, at<br>
some point, we'll be communicating with so many people, so often, that<br>
we won't even know it's happening, except in some sort of vague way...<br>
like a CEO having an executive secretary.<br>[Snip]<br>

aren't important enough? Or is it because I deem you so important that<br>
you get the personalized treatment?<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I have also imagined that our AI exo-self will act as agents on our behalf at volumes and speeds that we currently cannot comprehend. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I find myself more and more simply not commenting on facebook's content - is it because the content is garbage? Perhaps some. Is it because bad faith actors will pounce on the least important words while also missing my point completely? Yup, that too.
