Top 5 things:
- The more people use AI, the less they tend to ... think and connect to their work.
- AI tools can ... hurt trust within colleagues.
- AI tools can ... state factually wrong things even more professionally.

- AI can build "reasonable" theories without actual rationality. And people tend to ... just believe in it, without asking meta questions, like "How do we know what we know."
