Instead of thinking about work, let's worry about the human void that algorithms are filling.

The article discusses the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) and raises concerns about the emotional and relational impact of AI on human society. It argues that while much public debate focuses on job displacement and social stability, a more pressing issue is the 'vacuum of humanity' being filled by algorithms.
