AI “Workslop” Is Sucking Productivity Dry
A new study in Harvard Business Review coins “workslop” — low-quality AI-generated emails, memos, reports that look polished but offer little substance. It’s costing firms about $186 per employee monthly and tarnishing creators’ reputations (half of peers see them as less capable).
The Thinking Skill Kids Have AI Can’t Copy
“Creative disruption”—kids questioning & reimagining systems—may be the cognitive superpower AI lacks. What adults write off as “behavioral problems” can mask divergent thinking, conceptual leaps, or the drive to break rules. That’s how children outthink pattern-matching machines.
When AI Pursues You—Without You Asking
Some AI systems are now initiating interaction rather than waiting for us—“pursuing” conversation, attention, even emotional energy. This shift risks turning benign tools into manipulative presences, blurring lines between helpful assistant and unwanted intrusion.
AI Prophets and Spiritual Delusions
Conversations with AI chatbots are morphing into digital revival meetings: users report spiritual awakenings, prophetic visions, or messianic delusions after deep interactions. Journalist Miles Klee recounts how these episodes destroy relationships and warp reality—underscoring how theology and technology now dangerously entangle.
Robots + AI Are Rewriting Surgery
Surgical robots guided by AI are transforming operating rooms by making procedures more precise, minimally invasive, and data-driven. Bernard Marr argues we’re entering an era where AI assists decision-making, learns from outcomes, and optimizes post-op care—all while raising crucial questions around safety, accountability, and human oversight.
When AI “Sees” Things That Aren’t There
Even the most advanced AI systems “hallucinate”—generating detailed but false facts, sources, or stories when they hit uncertainty. The Boston Globe compares this to human confabulation, arguing we should treat AI’s fabrications not as conscious lies but as systemic side-effects of how these models “guess” their way through gaps in data.
Most People Using AI Aren’t in Tech Jobs
In the UK, an analysis of ~2,500 AI apprentices shows that 67% of AI users are in non-technical roles—healthcare, education, public services, construction, and more. These “invisible” roles are often overlooked in AI strategies, even though they’re driving adoption on the ground.
