(de)Generative messages

Just be careful.

There are tools that can streamline all your correspondence. Software can augment your shortfalls as a manager and clear-minded thinker.

Like a mental prosthetic, technology can be an enabler — helping us to achieve levels of efficiency and proficiency that would otherwise be impossible to do on our own.

But the distance between, “AI, help me,” and “AI, just do all of it for me,” is small. And the latter is not always appropriate.

In a real sense, my generative AI message to you could prompt a generative AI reply. And then it becomes the AI models talking to each other. And we become observers of our own communications rather than intentional participants.

Just be careful.

Because in many areas of life, unassisted humanness is sufficient. Even preferred.
