The imagined blissed-out utopia will not come to pass. I believe AI will release us from some of the more arduous tasks we have to do, but it will open the door for more introspection, which will might have its own implications. We will need to learn how to flourish, differently.
Re consumers: I guess we as a populace became prosumers a while back directly or indirectly; fueling the current trends. Which also relates to the notion of systems, infrastructures being "imposed".
Love this theme and love this conversation. It touches on so much of the work in the K12 education space, both separate from and including AI. Cultivating self-reflection and developing in students the language and understanding of the power of human connection has always been a priority. Ever more so now, as AI tools slowly (emphasis on slowly) integrate into teaching and learning practices, are those skills integral to personal and collective flourishing.

These are the sort of conversation we need.

I like the discussion about what human flourishing means. Thanks for considering how AI can help us in this effort.
