It's interesting to see Platonism and virtue ethics combined in such a way to try to make sense of what is going on.

This egoless attitude and the call for a broad humility may find itself in conflict with a supremacist humanism. There are people who will only ever want things that originated from a human. I see this attitude mostly in creative fields like art, music, film and games.

I therefore think we need to have different attitudes towards AI adoption depending on the field. In the case of math, some seem to want to excise any human emotion or physical need and create a pure refined space to explore propositional Truth. But extending this to all human activities doesn't seem to follow.

I guess what I'm saying is, there is probably still a place for human ego, even if that place is not math.
