Why “Dear god help us” is so fitting regarding (distraction free) AI in this application.
“As a general proposition, we may say that the drive that carries forward any activity, when it is running freely and effectively, is inherent In that activity. It is only when an activity is running by its own drive that it can run thus freely and effectively; for as long as it is being driven by some extrinsic motive, it is subject to the distraction of that motive.”
~Robert S. Woodworth
