Now generative AI is going after our ability to think, and the words it hands us are like grocery-store raspberries: perfectly shaped, no sweetness. This episode of We Are the Machines, exposes the hidden cost of handing corporate thinking to algorithms, and why automating writing quietly dulls the people who do it. You will get practical ways to pressure-test AI writing, including a falsification test that makes the machine poke holes in its own work.
