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.

Before and After shots of Google slides menu bars, Insert --> Image. Before, the first option was "Upload from computer". After, the first option is "Generate an image", with "Upload from computer" a distant second.

Google AI is like an Eric Adams quote generator

Al Overview

Men in New York have done countless things throughout history, from building the city to participating in major events like the Stonewall riots and the September 11 attacks. Their actions have ranged from daily life and economic hardship during the Great Depression to playing significant roles in the city's political and social landscape, such as the assassination of Malcolm X or the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

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.

Why Emerging Economies Are Embracing AI

Surveys show that populations in emerging economies are not only aware of the opportunities AI creates but also more optimistic about the technology than people in advanced economies. They might not lead the way in building AI models, but they can use the technology to advance their economic and social development goals.

If you have been framing your work as involving/in relation to "AI", what do you mean by "AI"? How would you describe your work without using that phrase?

@alfiekohn.bsky.social

What's striking isn't the growing number of studies finding negative effects from using AI - in this case, to have it summarize research for you (vs. searching individual sources yourself) - but the kneejerk tendency of those reporting them to ask how best to use AI (vs. whether we need it at all).

Last spring, Shiri Melumad, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, gave a group of 250 people a simple writing assignment: Share advice with a friend on how to lead a healthier lifestyle. To come up with tips, some were allowed to use a traditional Google search, while others could rely only on summaries of information generated automatically with Google’s artificial intelligence.

The people using A.I-generated summaries wrote advice that was generic, obvious and largely unhelpful — eat healthy foods, stay hydrated and get lots of sleep! The people who found information with a traditional Google web search shared more nuanced advice about focusing on the various pillars of wellness, including physical, mental and emotional health.

The tech industry tells us that chatbots and new A. search tools will supercharge the way we learn and thrive, and that anyone who ignores the technology risks being left behind. But Dr. Melumad’s experiment, like other academic studies published so far on A.Ls effects on the brain, found that people who rely heavily on chatbots and A.I search tools for tasks like writing essays and research are generally performing worse than people who don’t use them.
