Love the phrases "Cognitive Cost" and "Executive Function Theft" to pinpoint how exhausting it is to be constantly bombarded with apps telling you to use AI. I've been calling it "Corporate pressure" and "Force feeding". It's quite a lot right now. Seems a bit desperate tbh.
The #ExecutiveFunctionTheft of having to opt out.
Feeling annoyed at the cognitive cost of having to dismiss all the offers of "AI" assitance every time I use Acrobat to provide feedback on documents my students wrote. (NO I do NOT want an "AI" summary of this. In what world???)

There's this form of behavioral engineering/coercion going on to use AI when you're not even trying to. Ex: Enterprise Google Slides replaced "Upload an Image", with "Generate an Image" (right?), requiring extra work +adaptation to sidestep the AI-as-default push. It drives me bonkers.

The most useful « AI » is just Google as it should have been by 2010. Natural language questions and answers with citations and links. Google summaries nowhere near this. Enshittification is incurable

Quello che vedete nella foto è Grem, il primo chatbot per bambini, capace di parlare con voce umana e di stabilire una connessione "intima" con vostro figlio.
È integrato in un peluche tanto puccioso.
Ma anche tanto spaventoso.

Come Internet e i social media, anche l’intelligenza artificiale rischia di indebolire le nostre relazioni e disgregare il tessuto sociale, con effetti funzionali all’autoritarismo.

Ne ho scritto nel nuovo post sul mio blog, dove ho ho provato a spiegare perché l’AI rischia di portare a compimento il processo già avviato dai social media, diventando una nuova infrastruttura del potere.
