With all that is artificial, from intelligence to food, the question must be asked: As that which is artificial continues to be perfected, will humans begin to subscribe to an altered reality where what is real is considered archaic and what is manipulated is seen as the standard?

The anomalies found in the occasional stutter, the loss of a word, an inkblot upon the page, or an unsteady stroke of the paintbrush, to name a few, might disappear.
