is it possible to convince AI boosters that mathematics and science don't exist as human pursuits with the primary goals of producing papers and proofs, or are they just Gone

everything's a fucking product to them. art and music and science and math all exist with the goal not of expression or understanding but with having caused a product to exist. they're betraying their own humanity with the goal of replacing everything that makes life worth living with rot

if we allow this ideology to run the world it will bring everything to an ignominious close. the human project will be finished, having produced a great deal of product before it was finally rendered obsolete by something more prolific

next they're gonna figure out how to replace dogs with something more convenient
