We need LESS of AI and more HUMAN thinking. The process of thought and the increased difficulty with increased complexity is a feature not a bug.
AI note taking is a scourge on society and needs to go.

    I think we need less software with AI features. Less stuff chasing the hype train and more "slow" software that encourages thoughtfulness and less reliance on the machine.
