Post-Human Perception In The Global Village 🌎

Electronic circuitry, the material backbone of The global village, a term coined by Marshall McLuhan, speaks to the interconnectedness of humanity through electronic media of all kinds.

AI expands this notion, by transcending the limitations of our six human senses and establishing a much larger realm of post-human perception.

This sensorium, a collective term for human senses, encounters a radical shift as AI augments or even replaces our traditional limited modes of perception.

This fundamental change in the sensory experience will alter how we interpret and engage with the world around us.

The fusion of AI and the human sensorium ushers in an era of techno-sensual synesthesia, where the boundaries between the senses dissolve, and a new form of perception is born. McLuhan's concept of "acoustic space" - the multidimensional, simultaneous, and interconnected nature of auditory perception - can be applied to this new realm of post-human sensibility. As AI supplants and enhances our senses, we may be compelled to redefine what it means to be human, and reevaluate our place in the digital cosmos.

The question isn’t when AI will start to take part in the crafting of this message.

The question is quickly becoming if we will even be able to tell.
