Agamben's quote below is something to keep in mind when working with AI.

A big drawback (cost) of using AI, and I see/hear this every day, especially among developers, is that we're not getting any smarter nor learning anything new :/

Or if we 'think' we do, it's not with the same level of depth as before.
You think "oh, here's how it works", but zero retention happens, things don't really stick.

It's insidious as well, because of how these tools are designed to offload more and more work.

Ironically that often leads to flat results, not moving the things that really matter forward (actual ROI, human touch + connection).

So I plan on switching off this weekend and read a long bio or something to be cognitively engaged :)

And that brings the quote full circle: "human decision" - yes, this tech is put on us, and oftentimes it feels we don't have a choice in the matter, but we do.
