Thanks Kevin. Make sure you don’t trip into the “illusion of knowing” that often comes with initial insight and comprehension. Our brains needs retrieval and spaced practice to remember what we read.
Eva, thank you for framing this conversation with such clarity.
I agree, the real stakes aren’t just technical; they’re human. Too often, people relate to AI as if it can sense intention, read group signals, or carry moral weight. Generative AI doesn’t see us it outputs based on patterns, not lived experience.
When we treat AI as a partner rather than a tool, we risk weakening our own systems of thinking and judgment. We blur the lines between support and substitution, and that can undermine trust and shared outcomes.
Your call to build habits before outsourcing skills is sharp and essential. Before we “align” AI to our values, we have to anchor those values ourselves. Proof, consistency, and human voice must stay at the center.
Thank you for inviting us to reflect rather than just adopt. Are we each willing to strengthen our own clarity before handing it over to a machine?
Thank you for your well-articulated response, Benta! I especially resonated with your point about trust and shared outcomes; something no pattern-matching system can "consciously" comprehend. I'm always curious to learn from fellow learners: How do you personally anchor clarity in your work before bringing AI into the mix?
Hi Eva. Great article. I started reading you occasionally a couple of years ago. I think you're writing has gotten so much better, more engaging syntax, easier to read format, and relevant content. I am just an aspiring writer, Spanish language native, who wants to reach out and congratulate you for inspiring me in my own reinvention journey. Thanks
Aw, thank you, Juan, your kind words made my day! I’ve put a lot of conscious effort into improving my writing over the past years, so feeling seen in that journey means a lot. And Spanish is such a beautiful language. When you say aspiring writer, where can I read more of your work?
I already feel smarter after reading this

This take is profound
Thanks, Uchenna — I’m glad it resonated. It’s one of those topics where the more I dug, the more I realized how complex (and misunderstood) it is.

The four principles you’ve outlined seem to me like Golden guidelines. Thanks for this article Eva. I’ve restacked it.
Thank you for your kind words, Meri! I appreciate you restacking the article.
