4 great reads to get you started with Human+AI
Most people don’t come to Human+AI because they want to learn AI tools.
They come because something about work, creativity, or decision-making feels different, and the explanations they’re hearing don’t quite land.
This page is a short, intentional path through the ideas that shape Human+AI. You don’t need to read everything at once. Think of this as orientation, not homework.
Step 1: Reframe what’s changing
4 human skills that are worth more than a perfect AI prompt
Start here if you’ve felt some anxiety about relevance.
This piece reframes AI not as a job-killer, but as something more subtle: a force that’s making execution cheap and shifting value toward judgement, explanation, and accountability. It sets the foundation for everything that follows.
Step 2: Understand the limits of the machine
Before we talk about opportunity, we need to talk about trust.
AI image generators are powerful, impressive, and deeply flawed. From deepfakes to data consent, here’s why I won’t feed it my face, my voice, or my trust.
Step 3: Let go of the wrong advice
How to use AI as a personalized learning tool. (And a free download.)
Step 4: Look at how to integrate AI into everyday life
How to use Human+AI going forward
You don’t need to read every issue.
You don’t need to agree with every argument.
The goal isn’t to convince you. It’s to give you clearer ways of thinking, better language for conversations that matter, and a sense of orientation as AI becomes more embedded in everyday work.
Many readers use this newsletter as a thinking companion: something they come back to when they’re trying to make sense of a decision, a shift at work, or a headline that feels important but under-explained.
One small invitation
If a piece here puts words to something you’ve been feeling, or raises a question you haven’t seen answered well, you’re always welcome to comment.
