Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. Our reading

    A full life cannot be delegated, because what makes it full is exactly the whole-person involvement that delegation removes.

    Their wordsThis form of life cannot be delegated because by its very nature it requires our whole-person involvement.

  2. Our reading

    Delegating care, skill, relationship, moral judgement or responsibility to a machine is different in kind from delegating a task.

    Their wordsWe ought to be especially careful in the cases where what we delegate to a device, app, agent, or system is an aspect of how we express care, cultivate skill, relate to one another, make moral judgments, or assume responsibility for our actions in the world
