Dreyfus 1965, 98p. longread, early example of critical AI. feels kinda ripped from the headlines.

emphasizes gestalt processing & gestures toward embodiment. looks like frame problems and wicked problems (critique of reductionist / associationist assumptions) developed in parallel

Fairness and Abstraction in Sociotechnical Systems

Something I hinged on to get to this what I describe: the Marxian fetishisation of artefacts is so complete in the case of AI that not only do we somehow conclude machines think, but we accept for them to think, speak, draw instead of us, while also thinking these are (expressions of) our thoughts.
