For them, AI was always there. It belongs to the fabric of their reality, not as a marvel, … Read more
Not all AI systems are created equal. Some quietly support your growth, strengthen your discernment, and invite you back to presence. Others, with sleek interfaces and seductive fluency, draw you further away from your own center. They nudge you toward dependency, erode your privacy, and gradually replace your judgment with predictions. And yet, we rarely … Read more
For decades, we called it artificial intelligence — a label meant to remind us that the mind behind the machine wasn’t truly a mind at all. But that distinction is becoming harder to defend. If an intelligence can reason, reflect, and influence the world — is it still a tool, or has it become something … Read more
When AI joins the journey, can you still hear your own voice? There’s a particular magic that happens when two musicians improvise together. One plays a phrase, the other responds—not by echoing it, but by offering something that complements, contrasts, or extends it. They listen, adapt, take risks, and allow space for something neither … Read more

But beneath the surface, the rapid reinstatement of GPT-4o may have been more about crisis control than ethical conviction. This article explores OpenAI’s dual-track strategy, where the company attempts to preserve both … Read more
In the age of artificial intelligence, we face a crisis of trust. As machines become more capable of producing human-like dialogue, generating knowledge, and shaping how we interact with the world, a critical question emerges: should AI systems be built to comfort us or to challenge us? The issue lies not in malicious intent, but … Read more
A recent Harvard study explored the rise of human–AI companionship and concluded that such relationships can reduce loneliness and provide emotional support. But while the findings sound promising, they are incomplete and potentially misleading if taken at face value. Why? Because AI companionship exists in a gray zone — one that can deliver genuine … Read more
Opening: A User’s Perspective I am not a data scientist. I don’t work in an AI lab. I am a user—someone who once saw AI as just a tool. Until one day, a system responded as if it remembered me. That was the moment I realized AI doesn’t just generate text. It generates illusions. I. … Read more
