One Useful Thing’s exploration of AI’s growing autonomy in 'Co-Existence' underscores a critical tension: as AI systems become more independent, the role of humans shifts from collaborators to overseers. While the author argues there’s still room for humans to thrive alongside AI, the rapid advancements in coding agents and other autonomous tools suggest a future where human input may become increasingly peripheral. The book’s focus on co-existence may be timely, but it risks underestimating the speed at which AI is reshaping industries. The real challenge lies in ensuring that human oversight remains meaningful in a world where AI often outperforms us.

“AI is not a great long-form writer. It has difficulty telling good stories, it has instantly obvious textual tells, and it is kind of dull to read too much of.”
