A series for AI skeptics: what the technology genuinely does, where the doubts are justified, and a clear-eyed look past both the hype and the fear.
AI for DoubtersThe two loud versions of AI adoption are both tiresome: the enthusiast name-dropping models and posting prompts, and the refuser turning every conversation into a complaint. The serious version is quiet, using the tool where it helps, ignoring it where…
AI for DoubtersThe replacement worry is legitimate, and both marketing answers are useless: you will not be replaced, you will be enhanced is comforting and partly wrong, while everything will be automated is dramatic and also partly wrong. The honest answer is…
