John Leake, I agree with you— but— and I hate to say this— after my own weekend get-together with old friends, I think the even bigger problem is latent neediness on the part of accomplished middle-aged professionals finding intense— but intense— expression in constant interactions with AI. AI, do this for me, AI do that for me. Ask ChatGPT, blah blah & blah blah. That was the conversation— all eyes but my own a-sparkling with this neat-o "tool." I found the enthusiasm coupled with naivete astounding. One was even, delightedly, using AI to help him write personal letters. This isn't going to end well.
