Something has quietly changed in the world, and grownups know it. Their adult children mention ChatGPT at Sunday dinner. Their grandchildren use it for homework. The news calls it the biggest shift since the internet. And yet, most of the books written about it feel written for someone else. Someone younger. Someone in tech.

Spies are a feature of countless works of fiction in which they often discover secrets on which the fate of nations hang in the balance. Reality is generally rather more mundane as spies often gather low-level intelligence that only makes sense when it is examined by analysts and compared to information from other sources.
