We cover “AI replacement dysfunction,” described as stress, anxiety, insomnia, and identity loss driven by the narrative that AI will make workers obsolete, and debate whether it reflects AI-specific harm or broader workplace insecurity and poor management messaging. We also explore the concept of “cognitive debt,” where heavy chatbot reliance and cognitive offloading may erode skills or leave partially developed ideas and externalized reasoning trapped in chat histories.
