I think that both Automation and Augmentation will be present in the future unfortunately I think history indicates that a large portion of folks in our modern culture/society are more that happy to offload sensemaking to automated information technology tools and not to augment their sensemaking. The widespread adoption of social media tools by large parts of western society would be one example of this and the use of similar tools by the government in China would be indicative of this. Adding in AI will make this all the worse. That said I do believe there will be a smaller percentage of folks that will use AI to augment their sensemaking. Also I acknowledge that these are opposites and there will be many folks who will use AI for both to varying degrees.
