That's simply always true.
Since prehistory:
- We eat foods we never used to eat
- We live in larger groups
- We discovered a whole bunch of drugs/medicines.
- Artificial light
- Artificial strength
Now artificial information. Sure, take precautions, try to think about what you're changing. Try to understand the tradeoffs.
The cat is well out of the bag however.
