Thank you so much for another incisive article, Nick. I think we must stay grounded in nuanced humanism. Technology solely expands possibility, while humanity supplies purpose in application.

Thanks, Bechem. A nuanced humanism is what is required. I find fiction is a great “playground” for ethical thought. I wish I had more time for it these days, but writing these pieces provided needed pause and reflections. Thanks you your kindness and generosity!

Thanks so much! It is so much harder writing about literature than AI more generally. In my experience, the author and text accompany me along the way. I can’t just follow the whims of thought. I must stay grounded. But there is an enjoyment in that constraint. And a real sense of arrival at the conclusions

Thanks for the reply, Boodsy.

I have taken your recommendations to heart and adapting my text accordingly.

I too want to avoid anthropomorphizing in my writing about AI.
