Tidal implies cyclical, so no. This is accretive in a sense, but not in any gradual way.
When you are close to a black hole, the part of you that is closest, experiences a stronger force of gravity than the rest of your body. This tension rips things apart. Likewise, some parts of our civilization will be more affected by AI than others, causing change there to accelerate. This causes tension with the rest of civilization.
Thanks for clarifying that you aren’t referring to the cyclical temporal variation.
I see your point. AI advances are not accessible or “felt” the same way across civilizations, cultures, industries, nations, or people.
