This was very interesting. A bit curious about the meta analysis from Nature and Human Behavior that showed AI and humans both individually outperforming the two in concert. I didn’t see it listed among the sources at the end. I’ve written two recent articles about this general topic if you’d like to check them out. 👇

Good catch on the formatting, Josh. The source is there but easy to miss in the list: Vaccaro, Almaatouq, and Malone, "When Combinations of Humans and AI Are Useful: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis," Nature Human Behaviour, 2024. The finding that human-AI combinations underperformed the best of either working alone was the data point that changed the shape of the essay. Will take a look at your pieces. The titles alone suggest we're circling the same problem from different angles.

Frightening somehow. Thank you
