CROWDSPLIT
The line is persuasive because it reframes AI from a replacement story into an adoption story. But it also compresses a much messier reality: who benefits depends on role, access, and how unevenly these tools are deployed.
Editor's note
Strong because it shifts the fear from machines replacing people to people being separated by tool adoption.
