Substitute means a person or thing that takes the place of another. As a verb, it means to use one thing instead of another. Technology often acts as a substitute for other people by handling tasks, conversations, decisions, or services that used to require a human. Human replacement” is not one event. It is a spectrum: machines doing tasks people used to do, machines standing in for relationships, machines making judgments that used to belong to a person, and—at the extreme—the idea that humans themselves might someday be optional. Philosophers now often split the debate into two questions: how the gains and losses are shared, and whether a life without certain kinds of human work or contact is still a good life. dotpaw podcast mid roll #2 Support the show @dotpaw1 on X https://buymeacoffee.com/dotpaw1 https://dotpawpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ https://www.buzzsprout.com/2033334 https://rumble.com/c/dotpawpodcast https://www.stickermule.com/dotpaw1 https://linktr.ee/dotpaw Feed | IPFS Podcasting https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084218271364 https://dotpaw.net/index.html --DISCLAIMER-- This show contains the opinions of the host and guests and is meant for entertainment purposes only.
