As AI madness encroaches, we need human connection more than ever. But we’ll have to fight for it | Van Badham
TL;DR
We don’t want the isolating, automated outputs tech lords are selling us. We’re yearning for a shared frame of reference I have a cherished memory of a family trip to the movies. In the Australian tradition, we bought choc-top ice-creams, chattered through pre-show trailers and a hush fell on the full house as the movie started. It was Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, on film, only a couple of weeks ago, months after its release.
Nauti's Take
The value of the argument is the check question it hands small teams: which tasks genuinely become more efficient through automation, and where does shared learning and judgment quietly disappear? The limit is the format, because an opinion column delivers mood in place of data, and evidence for the claimed loss of connection is missing.
Practically: protect human review moments for creative and strategic decisions, and automate the rest without worry.
