The advancement of artificial intelligence may lead to the erosion of human capabilities, raising questions about the persistence of a core human essence.

As the machine slices away portions of human capabilities, are we left with a kernel of humanity, an indivisible piece that can no longer be divided into parts? Or does the human disappear altogether? If we are left with something, then that uncuttable piece, a form of atomic human, would tell us something about our human spirit. — The Atomic Human Neil D.
