> “We appeal as human beings to human beings: Remember your humanity and forget the rest.”

This whole essay and thesis falls terribly flat to me because there is a certain ongoing event, which Fry makes no mention of, which happens to be using AI in savage ways, but would also be happening were such AI still a glimmer in humanity's eye.

Hypothetical inhumanity gets a "call to action" from Fry but actual existing inhumanity deserves no mention.



From what I can gather, Fry's main (only?) published concern about that existing inhumanity is that it may lead to an increase in antisemitism.
