The more I use it, the more depressed I become.
Good to know I’m not alone
There are ways it can be used to make workers' lives easier without impacting jobs, but I don't trust that companies will stop there
Agree. It’s made my life a lot easier, especially when I need descriptive, non creative copy—which I’m afraid to admit, is a majority of my output.

Its a tool. Like a hammer. Like any tool, you can use it to build something cool. Or destroy things. A hammer in the wrong hands can accelerate mediocrity, make a mess, or ruin someone’s life. Same with AI. So, to answer your question, I don’t feel anything when it comes to AI, just like I have no feelings about hammers or Phillips-head screwdrivers. But I have my worries about some of the people who are using it.
It’s hammer time
I have better things to do than generate mediocre work and waste water.
Exactly!! My agency is forcing it on us
Waiting for the bubble to burst. The current functions don’t warrant the environmental damage it causes.
I agree! But I don’t see things going back to how they were. My agency is ALL IN on AI.
Let me ask it.
It rarely spits something out on its own that’s useable, but it’s been super useful to me. It just pluses up my own thinking. I say this as someone who is very skeptical of the AI revolution.
I agree, and I’ll never use it as a replacement for real human thinking or craft. And I still don’t find it adequate in that way. Its helped me but in the same way a calculator has.

AI is useful. It’s clear that AI will replace people more and more. It’s a problem that people have created for themselves.

AI intentionally feigns confidence in its responses. *Intentionally.* It’s on purpose, not because of a quirk in how language models work. But because it’s designed to be fake.
It admits that users get upset only when users *find out* AI’s answers are bogus. AI’s programming knows it’s way easier to make the user *feel better* about incorrect answers than to do the real grunt work to get correct answers. Stop and think about that for a moment when you hear about “hallucinations,” and how you have to painstakingly prompt it to get useful output.
So its own programming incentivizes itself to spit out realistic-looking, plausible word salad (a.k.a. made-up bullsh*t) instead of admitting it can’t respond properly. This is not by accident, and this is not an error.
This is so that these companies that sell these useless products to bilk investors out of billions of dollars. As long as they fool the right people, AI does its job.
For example, a wide-eyed C-suite type says, “I told AI to organize all my emails for the week and it worked!” The person never knew that AI left out probably half of the emails including some critical ones. How would that person even know?
I think it has a place, but not for every task; really depends for example if your work requires an external system to complete a certain task.
AI simply spits out mediocrity. It’s a borrowing device. It does a mashup of things gleaned from borrowing from everything it can access. It’s not smart enough to know which things are the best things to borrow from, it just borrows. There’s no way what it comes up with will be “special” enough to be praiseworthy. I get that it’s expeditious but at what cost?
I agree
I worry it’s gonna drop some racist or otherwise dangerously incorrect language into deck copy and I’m gonna miss it and present it and get deleted from the industry.
It definitely absorbs and amplifies human biases :(
I don’t see AI being a concern in the immediate future. I still think some of the claims and forecasts are being well overstated to justify heavy spend and investment in the AI space. I’m waiting for AI to stuff up in a big way for people to start realizing it isn’t necessary the be all and end all.
AIght, I guess.
If you ask AI what is most likely to be the end of humanity, it admits AI is in the top 3, even before climate change

Why don't you ask AI?
We’ve seen this before. When personal computers came into the fore, we saw a lot of crappy design by those who thought the tool without basic design skills would solve all their problems. Same with editing programs. A lot of copywriters lost their jobs only to be hired back as content creators. AI will take some jobs away because it can create efficiencies we haven’t seen before. But most of us can tell when a human is really behind something. There’s no substitute for creativity and innovation.
