This seems a tad ambiguous and fails to touch upon some key issues. What does it mean for software to "respond fluidly". What does "technology that adapts itself" mean?. This manifesto paints a negative picture of the current "software environment" or "technological landscape", clearly with social media in mind, but then attempts to solve the situation with "ai will solve it bro, dont worry about it, just as long as theres rainbows and we all care for each other maaaan" :)
Yeah, that's roughly my take as well. The AI bit is especially jarring, given the supposed goal of being "resonant", when in fact AI is the most powerful force right now towards making things that are functional without being resonant. As in, things that work superficially but just feel... off. (And upon closer inspection, they don't quite work as fully as you'd thought.)
Like, AI is certainly powerful and can do a lot, but this "resonance" is its weakness, not its strength.
