AI Watermarking: What the Mark Can and Cannot Tell You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since August, much of what the major AI systems produce carries an invisible watermark. In this episode I explain what that mark is, how it gets built into text and images, and why new European rules pushed companies to adopt it this summer. I separate watermarks from the AI detectors many educators already use, look at how both can be removed or faked, and consider what a mark can tell us when it turns up on a student essay, a manuscript figure, or a medical image - and perhaps more importantly
The Patient the Model Invents: What Simulated Encounters Can Get Wrong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If a learner rehearses a difficult conversation with an AI, what exactly are they practising against? A listener asked, and the answer runs through two layers of embedded value: the persona an educator or student writes, and the model generating everything underneath it. This episode covers what the survey evidence shows about that second layer, why the stakes rise sharply as an encounter becomes more values-laden, and the case for teaching learners to correct for the bias rather than avoid the
AI Solutionism: Are We Solving the Wrong Problems? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What problem did we say we were solving, and what would we have done about it if AI had never existed? That is the question we'll tackle this episode. Not whether AI tools work — they do, but that is what makes the cases interesting. Solutionism is the error of letting the available solution decide which problem we have, and once you know that it is easy to see AI solutionism all around us. So, why does it keep happening? Well, that has less to do with credulity and more with the fact that procu
What Happens When People Use AI for Health Information (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Note: This episode was recorded on July 28, 2026 and discusses ongoing litigation which may have changed by release. On July 22, 2026, a Florida pastor filed suit against OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT talked him out of seeking care for what turned out to be a pulmonary embolism. On July 23, OpenAI made its health product generally available to every adult in the United States. Those two dates are a fair picture of where we are. 46% of Canadian adults have asked an AI chatbot for medical advice in the
OpenEvidence: An Overview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many of you have written in asking about OpenEvidence. In this episode I walk through what's actually inside the AI clinical search tool that didn't exist before 2023 and is now used by an estimated two-thirds of US physicians. I cover how it differs from ChatGPT, UpToDate, and Google Scholar, how its retrieval-augmented architecture works, where its content comes from, and how the two search modes, standard Consult and Deep Consult, perform in the emerging evaluation literature. I take on the t
