What happens with claims about "manifesting" and “staying positive” in contexts of oppression? TLDR: self-help discourse (given its core principles) blames victims and causes epistemic and affective injustice. w/ @sallylatham.bsky.social & @almagro.bsky.social summarized in this blog post ⬇️

My latest article in @theconversation.com explores some of the ways using AI may undermine intimacy. AI might promise to make things easier but I suggest there is value in being curious, figuring things out, and failing, especially in intimate life. theconversation.com/as-ai-plays-...
theconversation.com
As AI plays a bigger role in relationships, true intimacy is getting lost
The normalisation of AI to mediate and shape intimacy arguably erodes self-curiosity.
