This is a recording of our <a href='/ai-book-club'>AI Book Club</a> discussion of <a href='https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063446618'><i>I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything</i></a> by Joanna Stern, held September 20, 2026. The group gave the book its lowest ratings yet, and much of the discussion is about why: the immersion premise produces stunts as often as insight. We talk about the medical chapter as the book's strongest section, the question of whether you should fix a system before amplifying it, chatbots that give you the candid career advice your friends won't, school policies on AI and who tutoring actually serves, work threads where both sides are pasting from AI, and the line between removing drudgery and giving away the thinking.
