Philip Ball - How Life Works
Machine Learning Street Talk (MLST)
**Maps, agency and understanding **
Generative AI can lead to a procrastination of understanding as it provides an illusion of immediate or deferred understanding, missing important information.

The use of maps as a metaphor emphasizes the necessity of having an overview to maintain agency and prevent the loss of meaning and understanding.
