    Charles Sanders Pierce's points about habits and belief , truth and justification were relevant. Too often we take actions based on beliefs with little more than the concept of being right. If this technology were to be in widespread use would it inculcate the understanding that the sentences we string together are concrete in their meaning, that we can, if we are to do the work learn how to base our beliefs and justification of actions on something, really the only thing, we have that is near to objectivity. The alternatives are I think, Deontology, the maxim, do un to others.... and the all to common appeal to something outside of causes and consequences, metaphysics, it is right because it is the word of god.
