vs ai cheerleader effect

I think AI is, by any measure of the word, simply amazing.
The wonders as well as the angst are real today / as is the potential seismic change for society in the / near? / future.

What’s also true:
any AI that’s public as of Mai 2026 results in a cheerleader effect.

Wait, what?

Yeah, right / like the one described in that HIMYM episode I could research but don’t even care to. The premise didn’t age well either, but let me summarize (remember / I didn’t come up with this / it’s science):

women / or people in general for that matter / appear more attractive in a group than they do individually.

ok, what does that have to do with AI? Everything.

The sheer vastness of output an AI agent can produce while you make coffee is amazing. I can have it write a 100-page science report on a topic I’ve never heard of / with graphs, quotes, statistics / grouped together / in seconds / so attractive.

I’m not a scientist. To me the report is perfect. It’s the closest thing that will ever get me to feeling like Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Don’t know how Neil would feel about it though / getting close to it / every number, every quote, every graph.

I do know what I see when I look close at AI design:
off-kerned,
half-considered,
sometimes just wrong
and very rarely beautiful or fun.

The tool is amazing.
not sure we (will) use it right though.
