That's a questionable statement that may reflect on your main argument. After all, when was the Internet "switched on"? Sounds very binary to me.
To be clear, Doctorow discussed switching off AI and proposed that there would be little to no change on the world. I was just changing the technology to show the flaw in the stance.
and thereby revealed the flaw in your own counterargument.
Can you elaborate? I'm not following what you're saying.
