Responsible AI Use, Education, and Tech Literacy

With the Anthropic story as backdrop, Leo steers into the deeper question of how AI should be used. He shares his own experience removing his Oura Ring after realizing the device was mediating his relationship with his own body. The same applies to AI and writing: 'the reason you learn to write is it's a process of learning to think.' Iain Thomson cites a teacher shocked by students blindly submitting Claude's output without checking it, and a UK newspaper journalist who published 110 articles in a single day using AI. Doc Rock offers the counterpoint: he does morning pages by hand every day, then walks and dictates to Claude, which synthesizes his ADHD brain dumps into prioritized notes. The panel agrees the answer is responsible adoption, not prohibition — and that tech illiteracy itself is a national security risk.
