My reading of the article is that the author doesn't think that picking the dystopian view of what food will become from a well known sci-fi movie and trying to make that into product is the best thing for humanity.
The richness of the human experience is found in variety. The moment we give that up we lose something. Experiencing food in all its many forms is one of the joys of life.
Similary, I love curated lists of songs and movies from other people the push me outside of the realm of what I seek out on my own. They have a richness that the infinite scrolling screens of AI generated suggestions are missing. Moveover, other people notice things about you and adjust their suggestions according to your emotional state. Down and depressed? Maybe a friend will suggest an insightful comedy to lift you up a bit. AI generated suggestions never seem to do that for me.

- bcrl 2y agoThat's missing the entire point of my posts. My issue is that the vision being taken and made into being is the one from a dystopian future. Why not aim for a more utopian view of society instead? Focus on solving actual world problems that will make people's lives better as opposed to taking ideas from futures that most people would agree that they want to avoid.
