Two things AI has quietly ruined for me

Two things AI has quietly ruined for me:

1. Reading posts.
2. Group Work.

Posts these days

Everything, and everyone relying purely on AI is starting to sound the same.

AI isn’t the problem.
It’s how people use it: no originality, no “self,” just uniform, polished blur.
The soul is gone.

Group work

My biggest concern though is how it’s affecting group work.

I look at recent team projects and can’t help but wonder:

• What will collaboration look like when my daughter grows up?
• When do we draw the line between a team using AI, and a team being replaced by it?

I ask these because when your group contributes only through surface-level prompts, you start asking:

• Am I working with people or NPCs just pasting AI outputs in a Google Doc?
• If I’m working with human-drones then… wouldn’t it be faster to work solo, with better prompts?

The bigger issue

This isn’t an anti-AI post. I use it daily. I love the tool.
But people treat it like a shortcut, not a partner. A replacement.

So here’s the question:

• Are schools teaching real collaboration in an AI-driven world?
• Are companies noticing how shallow teamwork has become?
• Or are we all just faking it ‘til the AI makes it?

Because you and your job won’t be replaced by AI -
but you might be replaced by someone who leverages AI better than you do to create quality work at 10x the speed.
