From the perspective of forty+ years, I think there is two possible corrections to be made in your comment:
The first being [In a world increasingly shaped by artificial stupidity,]
and the second being [and not capable of understanding the intricacies of language]
We have been here before and the same problem is arising today as it has done in the past.
We are far too enamoured by our technology and fail to see that it is our own stupidities that will bring about all the trouble that will come. We think we have made something wonderful and yet the reality is that what we are doing is effectively no better than what a witch doctor does in a much more primitive society.
These tools have the possibility of enhancing our abilities if we understand the limitations inherent in them. But if we attribute more to these tools then the consequences will be on our stupidity. These tools are incredibly fragile and we need to recognise that and take the necessary precautions in using them.
I have said this elsewhere, fire is a useful tool but an abhorrent master. So to with these tools.
