I think it simpler than all that: it’s enacting social order. This is not weird or transgressive or obscene. With our individual words and deeds we create a conceptual terrain that constrains social behavior. It’s a form of marketing.

I think he's quite conservative (the idea of AI influencing behavior is not new and his example is simplistic). I was talking about myself attempting to describe these dynamics in more clear cut terms. It's also not universally obscene, it's obscene in a "everybody knows but you are not supposed to talk about it" way.
