CHAPTER

Machines and Human Expression

This chapter examines the complex interplay between technology and human communication, raising concerns about the potential loss of unique human traits such as creativity and moral reasoning due to AI influence. Featuring insights from a Monash University guest, the discussion delves into the limitations of artificial intelligence, its inability to replicate genuine human interactions, and contrasts machine-generated advice with the value of wisdom from lived experiences. Ultimately, the chapter poses critical questions about the long-term effects of technology on human behavior and the possibility of returning to a less mechanized existence.
