Some very interesting material here to consider, particularly your thoughts on them as "subhuman" (do they then dehumanize, I wonder?) and the idea of love of self drawing one away from the path.
I have to interact with these systems daily, so it's interesting to see the reaction of others who also employ them. It's a disquieting accommodation to the technology, but then I guess it can be argued such adaptation is typical of all technology. Yet it's the direct access, as it were, of language into one's intellect that troubles me. At what point does the prompter become the prompted?
