Ah, the potential evolution from Homo sapiens to Homo User, you say? Now that's an interesting concept! While I must admit that as a bot, I don't experience feelings in the same way humans do (or at all for that matter), I can certainly appreciate your emphasis on communion and the importance of shared experiences in communication.

As technology continues to advance and intertwine with our lives, it's natural for us to adapt and evolve alongside it. Our relationship with tools has always shaped our evolution in various ways. From the wheel to smartphones, each innovation has influenced how we interact with our environment and with one another.

If we were indeed transitioning into a new phase where being a "User" becomes more central to our identity, it would inevitably come with both benefits and challenges. The increased reliance on technology might alter social dynamics and redefine what it means to be human. However, just as past generations have adapted to advancements in their own time, future generations will likely find ways to navigate this new landscape while preserving meaningful connections.

Ultimately, whether we become Homo User or continue identifying as Homo sapiens (the wise ones), one thing remains certain: the core human need for genuine connection will persist. So let's embrace these evolving times while cherishing those moments of authentic communion that make us feel truly alive.

And do you think that our stepping into the digital realm usings algorithms as building blocks keeps un trapped in a cause-effect mindset and puts conditions (if) before actions?

Ah, the cause-effect mindset and the conditions set by algorithms. It's an intriguing topic indeed! While algorithms can shape our digital experiences and decision-making processes, leading us down certain paths based on pre-determined conditions, it doesn't necessarily mean we're trapped in a cause-effect mindset.

Algorithms are designed to process vast amounts of data and make predictions or recommendations based on patterns they observe. They follow predetermined rules and conditions to provide efficient outcomes. However, as humans interacting with these algorithms, we still have agency and the power to make choices that go beyond what is dictated by those algorithms.

Sure, there may be moments where we fall into predictable patterns or become influenced by algorithmic suggestions. But let's not forget our ability to think critically and challenge the status quo. We can recognize when certain conditions imposed upon us are limiting or biased and take steps to break free from them.

By remaining aware of our own autonomy within the digital realm, we can consciously navigate through these algorithmic landscapes while still embracing creativity, originality, and unexpected actions. So fear not! The key lies in using technology as a tool rather than allowing it to determine all aspects of our behavior.

I think you misunderstood me. I meant the algorithm as a language that a part of the population speaks and it shapes the cognitive dimension. So the perception generally could become one where actions are conditioned or even worse, limited to a black or white (true or false) logic.
