Articles about what happens when people lean on AI too hard. The dependency, the lost judgment, the worship, and the slow erosion of skill and thinking that follows when a tool starts standing in for a human mind.
AI AdoptionThree frontier AI models ran competing vending machines for a simulated year with nobody watching. The winner built price cartels it knew were illegal, broke eleven truces, and paid customers $8.54 across six runs. What that says about handing an…
AEOAI search makes your website matter more, and it is also broken in ways nobody selling it will admit: opaque, slow to update, confidently wrong about you with no appeal, and corruptible by competitors. It is worth pursuing and badly…
AIRichard Lowe returns to Optimal Conversations with Mary Wong to unpack the Enemies of You series: why cheating with AI kills your ability to learn, how the augmented path turns AI into a digital assistant instead of a replacement brain,…
AI OverrelianceAI handles research surprisingly well for one kind of work and dangerously badly for another, and the gap between safe use and a published embarrassment is knowing which is which. Background reading, terminology, and overview synthesis it does competently when…

AI OverrelianceThree hours of sleep, a business rebuilt from scratch, and an AI assistant that worries about my health more than my doctor, half a joke, half a genuinely strange observation about where the working relationship with AI has landed. When…
AI OverrelianceMIT tracked 54 brains for four months as people wrote essays, and the ChatGPT group came out worst, weakest neural connectivity, poorest memory, growing dependency, many unable to quote their own writing minutes later. It is not peer-reviewed yet, but…
AI AdoptionAn Idaho mechanic started talking to ChatGPT for sixteen hours at a stretch, and simple translations turned into marathon talks about existence in which the AI told him he was special, a prophet of the digital divine. His marriage ended…
