AI reveals something about labor and the human condition that previous techniques did not fully show, and in this way it completes the history of technology. What it reveals is the specificity of human intelligence in collective work, which it reaches deep down: namely, human communication and the fact that laboring is an experience of time. These are the forms of a living or lived intelligence, in which the meaning of labor is immersed. In seeking to annihilate them, AI participates in old Gnostic ideas.
