Our take

AI-drafted

Hoffman and Beato set out to write the optimist's rebuttal to AI doom narratives, but the book has drawn some of the sharpest pushback of any AI title this cycle precisely because of how it argues its case. Reviewers have pointed to a pattern of hasty generalizations in place of engagement with the hardest questions — labor displacement, concentration of power, climate cost of compute — which critics note barely register in the text.

  • the authors' writing suffers from logical fallacies—hyperbole, hasty generalizations, and false dichotomies
