I don’t know whether augmentation is the right step after backing off or not, but I do know that the simpler “back off” is a much better message to send to humanity than that. More digestible, more likely to be heard, more likely to be understood, doesn’t cause people to peg you as a rational tech bro, doesn’t at all sound like the beginning of a sci-fi apocalypse plot line. I could go on.
