we like connecting to one another and knowing about each other and there is nothing much we can do about it


What is confusing about the ruling tech vulture class who seek to dismantle art and replace it with all AI as well as human communications through social media, is that people deeply want to connect to other people. People don't use the internet and scroll social media for the chance to communicate with machines. The machine is the tool to connect with people in some form whether reading, watching, or direct chat and commenting with others. Even the biggest misanthrope is deeply curious and intrigued and desperate to know people in some form whether they avoid direct interaction with them. People love work from actual humans. For centuries people risked life and limb to find people to connect to traveling not knowing what or who they were going to find. Why would this change with technological advancements? 

Covid was the biggest indictor of this. People risking their health in a pandemic to go down to a bar for company with people maybe they don't know or like too much just to have company with stale beer and overcooked burgers. On top of that humans desperate to travel to see their  families, families with histories of deep resentment between many individuals. The perfect excuse to not visit your family with unsolvable troubles that make you tear up when you are by yourself thinking of it all sometimes were tossed by the wayside. Rationality was not going to be the winner in America here. High Covid risk stuffed in an airplane for Thanksgiving before we had vaccines.  That's commitment to human relations. How can AI replace that? It's the ruling class shoving this AI replacements and interactions down our throats that don't understand it.
