This TPNF essay examines the boundary between myth and reality surrounding claims that AI and digital technologies will fundamentally transform human existence. It rejects two extremes.
The first is technological fatalism: the assumption that AI will inevitably determine humanity’s future.
The second is technological trivialization: the belief that AI is merely another neutral tool whose effects depend entirely upon individual users.
