The piece names something tech coverage rarely captures: AI makes self-optimization so cheap that it slides from looks into thinking. The opportunity sits in the debate itself, because naming that pressure helps readers decide where AI genuinely adds value and where it only smooths things over.
The limit: the argument rests on feed anecdotes rather than data, so it works as a prompt for reflection, not as evidence.
