the way humans and machines interact

There are many perspectives on human-machine interactions and there seems to be two major extremes to each side. One believes that interaction between machine and human is solely damaging and harms humanity rather than improving it. The idea being that machines are stealing privacy, taking up time, space, jobs etc and generally making the world an unsafe place especially in the hands of evil people. The other extreme believes that machines are entirely helpful to humans and that we are fully in control of our interactions with them and the space that they take up in society. Language is incredibly important in facilitating these interactions, without it we could not communicate with machines, instruction (code) is language, after all. In 100 years I imagine the lines between human and machine will become very blurred, perhaps life will become dystopian and people will become cyborgs that are half human half machine, or maybe machines will integrate fully into our society and there will be no real differences between the two.
