Comment by Peter Kirgis

To summarize, the fantasy for artificial intelligence is the abundance of intelligence and agency, directly substituting the language of a previous utopian era focused on the production of information to one focused on the processing of information. My contention is not that these fantasies are false, but that they are incomplete. While AI true believers portray these as unequivocal goods, banishing stupidity and helplessness from our lives, even these abundances will likely engender scarcities worth considering: a scarcity of expertise and a scarcity of collaboration, to name a few.
