AI is devoid of meaning and humanity. That’s why its vapid voice suits this political moment | Nesrine Malik
TL;DR
An opinion piece argues that as we lean on AI for ease and speed, we erode our ability to connect and organise society. It points to writers caught out by fabricated or misattributed AI quotes — even when they meant to use AI only as a research partner — and warns that AI's hollow, generic voice mirrors a shallow political moment. The call: reassert trust in humans over machines.
Nauti's Take
AI dramatically speeds up research and drafting and works well as a sparring partner. The catch: fabricated or misattributed quotes slip through even when writers try to be careful, and they cost credibility fast.
Nauti sees a clear limit here, as anyone using AI for text needs to verify every source. Writers and journalists gain the most, but they also carry the most risk.
