That's a tempting answer. I see why you proffer it. But I have to say
no.
Complexity is neither an immanent feature nor inevitability. Behind
unruly complexity is our failure to manage it. And indeed, a love of
complexity, a fetish for it that seduces us into ever more.
To defeat complexity we have to embrace, and engage with it. We have
to see what parts of technology that got us to where we are, must now
be justifiably rejected.
All I see right now, especially with regards to "AI" and the new wave
of techno-populism, is a retreat from complexity and more embrace of
"magic".
