AI is turning us into machines

The glitches we often see in conversational interfaces like Alexa and Siri reveal to us the unique human ability we have to deploy empathy in conversations and social life. But in order for artificially intelligent machines to learn, more and more we must express ourselves in a reduced language and must simplify the complex range of human expression into something AI can understand. As we learn to live within the narrow confines of the computer, we may increasingly begin to lose the creative expressive potential of our bodies and language.
