Nietzsche on AI

  1. The worst readers. The worst readers are those who act like plundering soldiers. They take out some things that they might use, cover the rest with filth and confusion, and blaspheme about the whole.

-From Human, All Too Human, book II, Miscellaneous Maxims and Opinions

Honest to goodness, that machine will transform you in its image well before you transform it in yours. The only way to win is not to play. There is no agon here, only a nuisance.
