AI is becoming part of everyday life, often so quietly that we barely notice it. This week I’ve been wondering what happens when a technology becomes normal before we’ve really stopped to think about what it means.

We often talk about computer literacy, digital literacy, media literacy, and now AI literacy as if they were skills we learned and completed. But did we ever truly master them, or are we simply continuing to adapt as technology changes around us?
I’ve lived through the rise of computer literacy, digital literacy, media literacy, and now AI literacy. Watching another new literacy emerge has me wondering: how do we actually learn these skills, and how do they become part of everyday life?
AI is arriving everywhere at once. In our phones, our software, our browsers, our creative tools, and our daily routines. But lately I’ve been wondering if what many people are feeling is not fear or resistance, but something quieter: exhaustion from living inside constant technological acceleration.
Lately I’ve been wondering if people are starting to feel something different about AI. Not fear exactly. Not rejection either. More like exhaustion. When every app, platform, and device wants to become intelligent at the same time, curiosity can slowly start turning into noise.
We’re still asking questions.
But they don’t always lead anywhere unexpected anymore.
Somewhere between the question and the answer, the “what if” seems to disappear.
