> A lot of people don't care about the human element to anything.

I think this is a crucial point. The AI era seems to bring out two distinct movements in people: Those that always saw the human as a necessary bottle-neck, and those that actively sought and enjoyed interacting with another human brain.

Yep. The problem I feel is that humanity and society evolved via human interaction over the span of tens of thousands of years. And then in the space of a decade some of the people who benefited from that development feel so comfortable in their lives that they seek to literally end that method of progression for our species.
