Arguably, someone who has chosen to replace their own human expression with machine words has already dehumanized themselves - although this is perhaps a too-literal reading the word “dehumanized”?

> who has chosen

I very explicitly tried to separate this third-party perception and actual first-party intent. Well, my guess of it, of course - but I find it hard to believe someone decides to LARP Adeptus Mechanicus and goes along the lines of “why don’t I cede my voice to the Machine Spirit”, while “why don’t I task this tool to write notes instead of doing it myself” is a lot more plausible.

Choices and outcomes are two very different things.
