Vivienne Ming: Robot-Proof Children and the Nemesis Prompt
Ming's book-promo piece wraps consensus education-reform thesis in neuroscience credibility, but the one genuinely product-ready idea is the Nemesis Prompt: kids produce a first draft, an LLM adversarially attacks it, then the kid evaluates which critiques hold. That three-step loop is a design pattern for any AI-assisted creation tool, not just parenting advice. The real test for every AI learning product: does the user get worse when you turn it off? Most ed-tech fails that test because it optimizes for answer delivery, not capacity building. The underserved category is adversarial AI tutoring: tools that make your thinking harder, not easier. Harder sell to consumers, but institutional buyers running L&D programs should be asking whether their AI integration is building dependency or judgment.
