GenAI and what it does to the brain.
Truly excellent "long read" article about genAI and what it does to those who come to rely on it. Well researched, with insightful quotes from thoughtful people.
Good science/tech journalism used to be like that, but on AI topics this has become rare. So much easier for the salaried writer of a mainstream paper just to follow the hype.
The author, Sophie McBain, is listed as a "freelance writer" for Guardian, Times and New Statesman. I am glad she's kept her free mind.

I get asked all the time: “How should we add AI to our product?”
My answer is simple: Treat AI as a tool, not a feature.
And if you want AI to mean something in your work, put it to work where it counts — in building and sustaining products that last.

"Driven by a compulsion to cut overhead costs — and avoid the wrath of similarly AI-fixated shareholders — executive teams across the US can’t wait to force AI onto their workforces, consequences be damned."
