Use AI as a Thinking Partner, Not a Replacement for Judgment

Most conversations about AI are trying to answer the wrong question.

Not “Is AI good or bad?” But “How do we stay human while using powerful tools?”

I’ve curated a reading list of serious, thoughtful articles — many of them critical — that all point toward a more grounded approach: AI as a mirror for human thinking, not a substitute for it.

I frame the list through the lens of Augmented Thinking. For readers who want to go deeper, I also offer a free Augmented Thinking Email Mini-Course that explores this way of working step by step.
