The trouble is: This will be the Standard. When you go to your boss with a pile of paper and tell him, I printed out all I read and wrote on this project since yesterday, you are the best employee ever. Even though, the boss never dares to look at the paper, which is mostly empty. Now you let AI create stuff and tell your boss how busy you have been with all these reports. Just happened with my colleague. He had really good use case and used AI and it helped. Instead of finishing Friday at 4pm with sunshine, he finished at 2pm and went swimming. The questions are: 1. What do we do with all our spare time now? 2. When will superiors recognize this? 3. Will it lead to layoffs?
@auf_mastodon This is also a worst case scenario for evaluating AI use in a corporate environment. Q: Do you use the AI tools we provide? Yes Q: Did you get value out of using the tool? Yes Analysis: AI tools good!
Unless (very unlikely) the people studying actually look at the end-to-end value of the process they are going to come to false conclusions
As with everything, it's about moderate and intelligent use of your tools. I wrote a Thunderbird extension. I write bullet points, short sentences full of typos. My locally hosted ollama AI model corrects the errors and expands the sentences so they make sense. It's not any longer or fuller of nonsense than an email I would spend 3x longer writing
from these comment AInis doing to tech what corporations have done to the food industry in the states. “Hi welcome to xyz it’s a beautiful day my name is abc want to try our new item have you signed up for …(5 minutes later)…what would you like to order?”
I keep my AI use to a minimum. For the kinds of emails I need to write I really don't need it, and when I do it's just to rephrase a sentence or to find a word I can't remember.
I use AI a lot for many things but I hate it in emails. I think the real problem is this corporate culture of mking things more complicated than they should be. In meetings it's very often the same

If they can’t be bothered writing it, why should I be bothered reading it?
And I’d much rather read real idiosyncratic human expression than the bland beige fluff fluff fluff blah blah.
