AI hype often sells a future free from the supposed weakness of human emotion. Greg Fish offers a reason to question that premise before accepting the next promise of a machine that thinks like us. What happens when a person’s reasoning remains, but their emotional responses change?

A patient’s experience makes that question surprisingly concrete. Ordinary choices become difficult, and situations that look good on paper can hide warning signs. Greg connects that account to a frustration with technology leaders announcing discoveries other fields have studied for decades.

Then the question shifts from what gets built to what gets rewarded. Greg argues that a grand promise can become financially useful long before it becomes a working product. If people can profit from the anticipation, what pressure remains to deliver the future they sold?

Topics: AI hype, emotion and reasoning, human intelligence, established expertise, financial incentives
