AI in the classroom doesn’t look like what the headlines promise — or warn about. In this issue, Jay goes inside the real habits of today’s students, from “Google and Paste” shortcuts to surprising meta-skills that point toward something deeper. Plus: what makes a good research skill now, and why AI hasn’t killed nonfiction reading just yet.

AI bias isn’t just loud or obvious — sometimes it shows up in what’s missing. In this issue, we explore the invisible biases baked into tools we trust, why “empowered” isn’t as empowering as it sounds, and what happens when your AI serves up two coffees and a maple dip donut. Spoiler: it’s not just about donuts.

What if the most important research skill in the age of AI isn’t speed — but knowing when to slow down?

In this edition of Human at the Center, we take you inside our real-world workflows to show how AI can support deeper thinking, not just faster output. From custom GPTs to printed transcripts at the dog park, we’re exploring what it means to stay human in the research process — and why reflective prompting might be the new literacy skill that matters most.

What if the biggest shift in AI doesn’t come with a headline — but with a quiet suggestion to walk your dog?

In this edition of Human at the Center, we explore how persistent memory and subtle design choices are nudging us toward a new relationship with AI. From parenting moments to unexpected dog-walking prompts, this isn’t science fiction. It’s already happening — and it might be the clearest signal yet that AGI is closer than we think.

In the first issue of Human at the Center, we tackle the big question: What does it mean to write with AI instead of against it?

Through real conversation and sharp insights, Jay and Paula explore how editorial judgment, personal voice, and a dash of struggle are becoming the essential skills in an AI-assisted world. Whether you're a writer, parent, or small business owner, this post reframes AI not as a tool to replace you — but as a partner that still needs you at the center.
