I've written a (very long) article on AI as Interpolatable Archives, which are shapeshifting skeleton libraries, cognitive catalysts which can be used like explosion drawings, bearing cognitive hazards and new opportunities to play.
It traces the history of fuzzy archives back to Aby Warburgs Mnemosyne Atlas and Borges and goes on to explain the various effects on learning, including chances and risks, and dissects various points of critique from delusions to parrots, some of which prevail, many of which vanish, once you strip AI from cognitive woo.

This is the whole piece (14k words no less): https://goodinternet.substack.com/p/on-interpolatable-archiv... and it contains links to its 4 parts, if you like to read in smaller chunks.
It was quite a lot of work over some weeks, and I hope you guys appreciate. Feedback welcome.
