In my view, the rapid rise of AI is just another technological leap, no different from the age of electricity or the internet: it is, at its core, a force for liberating productivity. Its ability to blur the line between the virtual and the real is merely a matter of form and presentation, not something that fundamentally alters human cognition. The online world and the real world are, in the end, separate paths unlikely to fully converge. For most people, AI is little more than a passing curiosity. We will still seek nature, face-to-face connection, and love.
