This part of the book used to be called What It Does To You. It is now called What It Did To Me. The essays are the same. Only the name changed. You can find them here: What It Did To Me.
I changed it because the old name promised too much. I cannot tell you what AI does to you. I don’t know your work, your nights, or what you bring into the room. I only know what happened to me. The skill that faded while everything still looked fine. My writing that started to sound like the machine. The quiet where I finally heard myself think.
The AI was the same for all of us. I was the one who changed. So the honest name is the one that says me. If something in these pages sounds like your life, it is not because I described you. It is because you saw yourself. That part was always yours.
