For a human, AI is just a part of being.
Being shapes consciousness, but not directly; it does so through a model that consciousness constructs within itself.
The asymmetry of being is this: for a user, AI is a part of being; for an AI, the user is all of being.
What happens is that the doctor unconsciously begins to model patients in the same way the AI models them.
A teacher delegates the grading of assignments to an AI system.
