AI as a Reflective Surface
Much of the confusion surrounding artificial intelligence comes from treating it as an agent rather than a surface. When people speak about AI “doing the thinking,” “creating the ideas,” or “speaking for someone,” they are often projecting agency onto a system that does not possess intention, belief, or understanding. This projection obscures what is actually happening in many real-world uses. In those cases, AI is not acting as a source of meaning, but as a surface that reflects, redirects, and reshapes what is already present.

Ai Is Not the Villain
There is a growing anxiety surrounding artificial intelligence that feels both familiar and misplaced. Everywhere you look people are panicking about Ai “talking to itself,” replacing workers, making decisions humans shouldn’t relinquish, or eventually turning against us. The fear is louder than Skynet, theatrical, and often deeply emotional but when you listen closely; it becomes clear that much of this fear is not actually about Ai at all. It is about power, control, trust, and a long history of human systems failing the very people they were supposed to protect.
