Correction Was Cute. Creation Got Weird.

Correction Was Cute. Creation Got Weird. isn't a book that tells you to love AI or hate it — the author is upfront that pretending there's a clean answer would be dishonest.

For decades, machines helped us spell, drive, shop, calculate, take photos, avoid traffic, find songs, and flag fraud. Nobody called it cheating. We called it convenient. Then AI learned to write, draw, speak, imitate, and invent, and suddenly everyone got very concerned about what was “real.”

It's a funny, honest, occasionally self-deprecating tour through machine assistance old and new — spellcheck, GPS, autofocus, and actuarial tables, all the way to chatbots, image generators, and deepfakes — built around one question the rest of the conversation keeps skipping: did it help a human become more capable, or did it just make weakness look polished?

This isn't a manifesto with a verdict at the end. It reads more like a conversation with someone who has actually used the tools, noticed the weird parts, and isn't finished thinking about it either.
