As someone who spent a lifetime building and working with machines I almost fell off my seat laughing at the title and the madness that lies behind that idea.

Machines are far, far, far from "perfect" and always will be.

Then I read the excellent little essay, which nicely sums up my humanist approach to life. "In a world where anyone can be anyone, choose to be you." is a great tagline.

But I don't think the authors struggle for authenticity, makes good use of the word "perfection". There is none. Yet most of us are looking for a flawed, fake version of what we're told perfection is - and that technology can bring it to us - and that's what we need to reject.
