Apple Intelligence has been reading my incoming text messages and creating auto-replies on my behalf, which I've never used and have since disabled the feature. As we've seen so clearly during the COVID pandemic, many people lost their ability to think critically. If we allow AI to have conversations on our behalf, then we'll likely lose even more critical thinking skills.

That's so true. Why think critically when AI can do it for you? Because they're not YOUR thoughts, that's the problem.

Really enjoyed this reflection Jordan, and I think there's so much wisdom in it.

It also brought me back a bit as I thought of the days when I'd use the household computer and how much of an experience it was. How much things have changed, and yet, how little they have.

Thanks Chris! I totally agree! So many things were like that. I remember how much of a hassle it was just to get on the internet sometimes. Now, it's so easy we barely think about it!
