      <description>Democracy asks us to form opinions we can explain and take responsibility for our choices. That requires doing the uncomfortable work of thinking things through. But we&amp;rsquo;re increasingly outsourcing that work to AI, and I&amp;rsquo;m concerned about the cognitive debt building up. When a chatbot tailors an explanation to your uncertainty, the opportunity to influence sits inside the answer you came looking for. No conspiracy required. Just habits we&amp;rsquo;re not examining closely enough, at precisely the wrong time.</description>
