    How would you feel if AI wrote your performance review? A third of managers are already using it for feedback (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    If you work in an office you’ll know we’re deep into performance review season. But how would you feel if you found out that your boss had used AI to write your yearly appraisal? I know I’d be pretty annoyed to learn that AI was deciding whether I was worthy of a raise this year. AI use by employees is becoming commonplace, but it's also being adopted by managers. A recent survey by Headway of 1,000 managers found that 33% had used AI to write feedback or prepare a performance review, while 31%

    'We don’t see AI as a replacement for human actors, and that isn’t the future we’re building toward' — Hollywood is betting big on AI movies just as audiences start turning against them (opens the original)

    If you ever need a sign that AI is coming for Hollywood then it must be that Jeffrey Katzenberg, the veteran Hollywood executive who co-founded Dreamworks, has just announced that he’s launching an AI-focused studio. Crucially, he told The Wrap that AI output was “slop” until very recently, but that in the last couple of months something has changed. Now he wants to make feature films and TV with AI, arguing that falling production costs will mean more films and new forms of storytelling. At the

    Have you noticed AI slop everywhere lately? I asked artists and designers why it’s taking over the real world (opens the original)

    Have you noticed the increase in local event posters made using AI? Suddenly I’m seeing them everywhere. They’re easy to identify because they all look similar, and generic. ChatGPT seems to love marker-felt-style fonts for headings, while the main image invariably has that unmistakable AI-slop look. Perhaps the new ChatGPT Images 2.5, with its templates for event posters, is to blame, but to me it’s all a bit sickening, and it genuinely puts me off whatever the event is. I feel the same way whe

    Women warned us about Google Glass 12 years ago — so why are we making the same smart glasses mistake again? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    One of the advantages of having written about tech for as long as I have is that you start to notice when the same ideas come around decade after decade, in different shapes and sizes. Especially the bad ones. 12 years ago Google invented something called Google Glass — a set of glasses complete with a camera so you could record what you were looking at — and it was so roundly hated by everyone that we all breathed a collective sigh of relief when they went away. But now it's 2026 and smart glas

    Siri AI vs ChatGPT: I gave iOS 27’s new assistant 5 jobs I rely on ChatGPT Voice for, and it’s changing how I use AI (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A few days ago, I wrote about how upgrading to iOS 27 doesn’t automatically give you the new Siri AI. To get Apple’s upgraded assistant, you have to jump through an additional hoop: go into Settings, find Siri and apply to join the waitlist for the Siri AI beta. The good news is that I didn’t have to wait long. Yesterday, my application was approved and Siri AI quietly installed itself on my iPhone. It feels like years since Apple first talked about giving Siri a much-needed intelligence upgrade
