🧠AI is eroding our Judgement, but we think otherwisePlus: Midjourney Is Building a 60-Second Alternative to MRI
Greetings Team, Computer Vision is getting more powerful every day. Midjourney, the AI image company, is building a 60-second MRI tool that soon may be accessible to anyone. Other companies are also building or already have tools that allow users to scan images to find if they have cavities, and tools that allow us to read X-rays and other medical images that usually only trained doctors can decipher. Democratizing all this technology can be great to learn more about our health, but it should not replace a professional, especially now that our judgment is becoming more impaired every minute we use the same technology that is allegedly making our lives better. Today, we dive into these computer vision tools, how our judgment is eroding, and marketers are prepping for a bot-to-bot world. Stay Curious.
📰 AI News and Trends
Midjourney Is Building a 60-Second Alternative to MRIAI image company Midjourney is entering healthcare with a new full-body scanner that uses ultrasound instead of magnets or radiation. The system features around 500,000 grain-sized ultrasound sensors that create a 3D map of the body with MRI-like quality, capturing details as small as 0.5 millimeters. While a traditional full-body MRI takes 60–90 minutes, Midjourney’s prototype already completes scans in about 20 minutes, with an ambitious goal of reducing that to just 60 seconds. The scanner generates roughly 17GB of data every second, requiring 21 servers and around 2 petaflops of computing power to reconstruct the images. The company, which became profitable shortly after launching in 2022 and exceeded $500 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2025, plans to deploy 50,000 scanners capable of performing 1 billion scans per month by 2031. The first location is scheduled to open in San Francisco next year, initially focusing on body composition mapping before expanding into diagnostic capabilities through incremental FDA approvals. 🧰 AI Tools of The DayClinical Dental AI (Finding Cavities)
Marketers prepare for Bot-to-Bot World
L’Oréal is betting that the future of marketing lives inside AI conversations and not websites. The beauty giant has partnered with OpenAI to power its in-house AI marketing platform and bring Maybelline’s virtual makeup try-on experience directly into ChatGPT. The company has already created more than 50,000 AI-generated marketing assets, cut production costs by 40%, trained 70,000 employees in AI, and invested nearly $2 billion in technology. This partnership signals a major shift for every brand. Consumers are increasingly asking AI assistants what products to buy instead of searching on Google or visiting websites. As a result, brands will need to optimize not just for search engines, but for AI conversations. This is a big shift as marketers start to think about how to attract online users with AI conversations and adopt different strategies to learn what AI will respond. We are optimizing for the way bots and large language models converse and provide feedback instead of optimizing for human verbal and written communication. This signals a world where winners may be the companies whose products are easiest for AI systems to understand, recommend, and personalize, turning chat interfaces into the new storefronts of the internet and a bot-to-bot world. 📚 Learning CornerLearn how to properly use Claude Skills Skills extend Claude's capabilities by giving it access to specialized knowledge and workflows.

A new study from MIT suggests that while AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude can make us more effective in the short term, they may also weaken our ability to think independently over time. Researchers tracked 67 participants over four weeks as they identified fake headlines and manipulated images. Participants using AI were 21% more accurate at spotting misinformation, but their performance became 15.3% worse when asked to make similar judgments without AI assistance. Even more concerning, about 25% of participants believed their skills were improving despite objectively declining performance. The findings highlight a growing phenomenon known as cognitive offloading, our tendency to outsource mental tasks to technology. We’ve seen versions of this before with GPS reducing our sense of direction, calculators weakening mental math skills, and smartphones replacing memory for facts and phone numbers. However, generative AI is different because it increasingly handles higher-order functions such as writing, research, decision-making, and judgment itself. The concern isn’t that society is becoming less intelligent, but that independent reasoning may become increasingly rare. In a world where people ask AI what happened in the news, which stocks to buy, what medical advice to follow, or even what business strategy to pursue, there is a risk that fewer people will develop the ability to question assumptions, evaluate evidence, and navigate uncertainty on their own. As AI becomes more capable, the ability to exercise sound human judgment when the machine’s answer is becoming the top skill. 🚀 Showcase Your Innovation in the Premier Tech and AI Newsletter (link) As a vanguard in the realm of technology and artificial intelligence, we pride ourselves in delivering cutting-edge insights, AI tools, and in-depth coverage of emerging technologies to over 55,000+ tech CEOs, managers, programmers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts.
