Stop saying that AI is just a tool and it only matters how it is used
I’m tired of this phrase and this simple way of thinking about tools. This blog post is a wandering train of thought on the topic of what tools are and why it matters to be even slightly more mature in how we think about them.

What happens when AI replaces the parts of work people love?
We’re using AI to move faster. I’m not yet convinced we’re using it to work better.

Thick practices for AI tools
This essay is the result of thoughts developed during the PIBBSS fellowship this summer. Thanks to Dusan and Maris for feedback on a draft of this essay. Thanks to Sahil and Niki for discussions that influenced the ideas of this essay. 1. Intro What if we could build AI tools...

AI Is a Waste of Time
The newest AI tools are accelerating basic research and scaring the general public. But many people are simply using them as toys.
We build AI that works for humans
Imbue builds AI to help people think, create, and build. We share our tools openly because we believe progress in AI should be collaborative and developer-driven

Accelerating Science with Human+AI Review
This issue of NEJM AI features the first two articles published through our accelerated human+AI review process. In this editorial, we describe the invitation-only “Fast Track” process used to revi...

AI as a Tool for the Mental Load | Brittany Ellich | Offprint
AI didn't make me faster at tasks. It took over the tracking, the invisible remembering that runs a household, and gave me back creative energy I forgot I had

An inside view of the AI revolution, from the people and companies making it happen.

My impression is that AI coding is on a "pick two of three" triangle: scope, ship speed, and correctness. Small tools are (speed + correctness) fast prototypes are (speed + scope) and big projects are (scope + correctness). Every project that tries to be all three degrades to "fast prototype."
