and "man vs machine" is a romantic paradigm for addressing the question of origin in an ideological context -

>things from man are genuine, fully present to themselves, creative original offspring with their own internal life, like a child;
>the products the machine are copies, mass produced paperclips destined for disposal.
>but machine is a product of man, and man's creativity wont ever be fully diluted by mere copies, the childlike originality is always available;
>but it's always threatened by this decay into machine mass production;
>and on investigation, the threat to originality is endemic to ITS OWN origin as mimesis, machinic behavioral imitation of the other...
>our experience of the Other is a kind of mental "copy" of our own...

etc etc etc forever as soon as you decide to open this pandora's box in your brain
