In this episode of The Immersive Lens, hosts Paul and Dave tackle when it is (and is not) appropriate to use AI.In this episode of The Immersive Lens, hosts Paul Engin and Dave Ghidiu explore the fascinating (and sometimes chaotic) realities of integrating artificial intelligence into our daily workflows and creative endeavors. The conversation centers around the concept of "committing AI," moving past the initial novelty to examine the practical, ethical, and unexpected consequences of relying on generative tools. Whether discussing an AI coding assistant that took a prompt a little too literally or tracking the latest breakthroughs in image generation, the episode highlights the shift from experimental tech to an unavoidable cultural and professional standard.With their signature blend of humor and tech-literate insight, Paul and Dave unpack a variety of real-world case studies, including the use of Apple’s Vision Pro in surgical environments and the tells of AI-generated writing. They balance the undeniable efficiency of these tools against the critical need for human oversight, proper boundaries, and clear institutional policies. Ultimately, the hosts land on a verdict of cautious optimism: while AI is fundamentally reshaping industries like education and media, success relies entirely on viewing it as a collaborative thought partner rather than an automated replacement for human creativity and critical thinking.Gone in 9 Secondshttps://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/claude-powered-ai-coding-agent-deletes-entire-company-database-in-9-seconds-backups-zapped-after-cursor-tool-powered-by-anthropics-claude-goes-rogueVal Kilmer Resurrected by AI to Star in ‘As Deep as the Grave’ Moviehttps://variety.com/2026/film/news/val-kilmer-ai-film-as-deep-as-the-grave-1236691042/Introducing ChatGPT Images 2.0https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-images-2-0/‘Safer, smarter, and more connected’: Apple’s Vision Pro used in world-first VR-assisted surgery, and it could be the future of medicinehttps://www.techradar.com/computing/virtual-reality-augmented-reality/safer-smarter-and-more-connected-apples-vision-pro-used-in-world-first-vr-assisted-surgery-and-it-could-be-the-future-of-medicineWikipedia:Signs of AI writinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writingBurstiness & Perplexity | Definition & Exampleshttps://quillbot.com/blog/ai-writing-tools/burstiness-and-perplexity/AI Detectors Don’t Work.
