That's how the slippery slopes get you. They look all gentle and inviting at the beginning like you can totally stand on them no problem, then the slippery gets you and you're sliding right on down.

The real problem with talking about slippery slopes in tech is that we're already on an unrecoverable slide into the unknown. So the question is just "does this new thing make the slide even faster?" Not, "we're on stable ground and we need to be careful about beginning a slide."

There's no going back and we have no idea where we're headed.

Right, I understand that. I just don't feel this particular use of the technology pushes us significantly closer to that point.
