Jonathan Lieberman writes on March 1, 2026, that AI is displacing skilled workers and hollowing out everyday human interactions. He cites examples—an immigrant translator, a young accounting graduate, and a startup founder using AI for a logo—to argue AI improves efficiency but risks eroding empathy, mentorship, and communal encounters. He urges using AI as a tool while preserving human presence in medicine, design, and relationships.
