I never use AI or avoid when I can. I feel AI is like writing something down. Once you write it down you forget it. I feel the more people lean on AI the less they will be able to do. Also I don’t want to correct AI mistakes

I’ve been using AI now for the last 2 years almost every day and what I found is that it’s not the technology itself that is the problem it is what people choose to do with it that is.

I have bought a midi chromatic harmonica and asked several times the seller/manufacturer for a detailed manual. No reaction! I asked ai and “he” analysed which firmware version I have and gave me a complete handout how to program my harmonica. No way that I could have figured that out by myself: I’m a big fan! Brainwash… is reading the papers daily!

And for every one person like you using it for responsible tasks, there’s ten others using it for homework, relationships, office emails, online spam, aggressive advertising, propaganda, automated cheating in games, coding and changing their computers (should be a learned skill or your PC becomes a blackbox), pyramid schemes, replacing human workers. The list goes on, but the point being your use might be benign, but majority is making the world much trashier full of even more noise to ignore than before.

I think those who try to warn the optimistic user need to get current on AI capabilities. Some say ai has no morals and it SHOULDN’T, but the more advanced models will refuse to do things that don’t break guardrails just because the agent sees the harm it could cause the user. I hear every warning and I agree with many, but I think the biggest fear for me is that ppl don’t even know what it is that they’re being cautious of. We’re not keeping up. AI literacy NEEDS to be pushed.

Julie Bedard raises crucial issues regarding how AI is reshaping our work lives and the potential for “AI brain fry”. It’s essential that leaders actively guide this transition rather than simply react. A passive approach could exacerbate the risks associated with over-reliance on technology, leading to diminished human capability, as some comments have highlighted. We must be vigilant and ensure AI enhances our judgement and creativity, rather than undermining them.

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, not turn our minds into machines that never stop working. The real challenge isn’t how much AI we can use, but how wisely we use it without losing our ability to think, create, and make decisions. A very important conversation for the future of work.

AI is supposed to enhance human intelligence and productivity, not overwhelm our cognitive abilities. I think the real challenge is learning how to use technology strategically while preserving independent thinking, creativity, and human judgment.

“My team is producing 10x more output, 10x faster, yet my job feels 20x harder.” The manager in this story also said she felt more lonely, not more collaborative, and that is the part worth noticing: high performers often read isolation as a workload problem when it is really a loss of contact with the people who share the weight. The test is whether the capacity you gained went toward more output or toward more time with the people you work alongside.

Wrestling with that unstructured information is partly how expert judgement and intuition get built. (Along with a basic understanding of math and syntax)
As a trained expert that is fine, It’s a skill that has already been built, but when you take away that friction, over reliance gets left behind.
Where the only friction comes from being an editor of generative output (rather than input), for non-experts, expertise and judgment never gets honed – leaving a skill deficit that fallible, generative solutions can’t fill.

Forgiving and letting go are less about absolving someone of their wrongdoing and more about finding our own peace.
We deserve a chance to live beyond the hurt their actions have caused.
But forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting.
We can remember what happened, set firm boundaries and protect ourselves from repeated harm.
Forgiveness needn’t mean restoring trust or allowing someone back into our lives.
It doesn’t remove accountability either.
We may still need to take action against the wrong that was done, including legal action if necessary.
And yes, some experiences are so traumatic that forgiveness may feel difficult or even impossible. That is okay too.
We don’t need to force ourselves to forgive or feel guilty for not being ready.

AI responses are too full of confidence & authority, even when they give wrong answers & after pointing out the error, they deny it with full confidence.
Future generations won’t know what’s right & wrong, they’ll accept the AI answers without doubting it. Forget future generations even we are doomed.

One practical apprenticeship check: after using AI, can the person explain why the answer fits the problem and name one case where it would fail? A polished output can start a coaching conversation; that explanation helps show what the person has understood.

Ai research just as all research points in many directions. Put another way, it brings to the researcher’s attention, the many factors, ideas, variables that are related to the problem one is seeking to resolve. The researcher needs to understand that these variables, ideas, factors will have either a significant effect or an insignificant effect on the problem to be solved. Some roads are not statistically viable. This is where the team leader’s skills, abilities, knowledge of the problem come into play. Of course to get a qood result, all the members of the team must bring some ability to the table. Even those of us who did research in the “old” way, the above elements matter.
I remind you of an old computer saying ” garbage in, garbage out”.

Stop humanizing AI. I set up an agent and told it to never imply or state it had experiences or opinions. it just ignored that instruction. It’ll literally say “what I usually do” No. You don’t do anything. You don’t exist. You’re a tool.
And then these massive AI companies fearmonger to pressure strict regulations to pull up the ladder so no one can come in behind them and make a less maladaptive product
