I fall victim to your first point trying to avoid your second all the time. I should have said kids bedtime stories though. 😆

Third-paragraph people gotta be the new name bc what fresh hell is that.

Google is also trying to lock in schools to a particular set of ideas that it claims to be based on "learning science" with its new LearnLM/Guided learning bot. It's a *theory lock-in* to a very attenuated version of learning theory. blog.google/outreach-ini...

Absolutely! Additionally, companies also have to justify the cost of keeping-up-with-the-industry-joneses when they adopt and integrate these AI tools. Any metric that goes against that isn't useful to them.

Probably because it's considered "hands-free". Distracted driving is still distracted driving. I can't imagine anyone actually wants this.

Are there AI tools that are helpful? Sure. But most of them are way over-hyped.

Don't believe a company that says AI (esp. genAI) has helped their engineers do more/better work.

Ask about the quality of that work. How many security issues since the intro of AI into code workflows? How many down reports? What's the difference in # of bugs introduced?

These tools are undoubtedly being used to justify automating engineers out of their jobs and companies can use their own workforce to do so. WILD.
