Sigh.

New boss: “You’re good at writing notes.”

Me: “Thank you, it helps me to remember so I have been writing summaries for many years.”

New boss: “You should try CoPilot and see what it can do.”

Me: “Well I enjoy summarizing my notes, and it helps me to learn and remember.”

New boss: “Let me show you something I did in CoPilot.”

Ugh. Writing it myself helps me LEARN and REMEMBER. Why are these AI zombies so intent on changing a process that is helpful to me? Feeding notes through CoPilot won’t benefit me when it’s the act of writing that works for me.

@VeeRat
The concept of just using AI to write or summarize shit for you is fucking anti science. There is neuro science that highly supports that engaging the brain thru writing is one of many ways that helps with learning and remembering.
Keep on writing!
*Also maybe we should be asking these AI zombies how much time they spent reviewing their AI writings and verifying (yeah.... verifying!) the output. From the peeps I know using AI to write for them, they don't verify what's been written 🤦‍♀️

@Petesmom @VeeRat My personal sample of one concurs. I took notes diligently at all lectures in college. The notes were all lost/thrown away after higher ed was done, and rarely consulted even at the time. The act of writing them down is what helped me to learn.

(For context: There were VT220 terminals for computer/internet access. Early web (Mosaic browser) existed at the time. Laptop computers were prohibitively expensive, and personal cellphones were bulky rich-people toys. I remember a “waste scandal” because the student government leadership had gotten themselves pagers.)
