[T]he modern deluge of information, where an endless stream of commentary and data creates a seductive illusion of completeness. In this environment, the bottleneck is no longer access, but attention.
The arrival of large language models does not solve this. In fact, it intensifies it. We now have a machine that will produce a plausible answer to almost any prompt instantly. But that speed does not remove the upstream burden of having to decide what matters. It cannot choose the frame. It can only elaborate the frame you give it.
In that sense, AI is not a replacement for good judgment. At best, it audits it and at worst, it accelerates our confidence in a flawed frame. A vague question invariably yields noise, and no matter how eloquently the response is delivered, it remains futile without usable clarity. If the age of information made attention scarce, the age of AI makes good inquiry paramount. ...
