I sit here shaking my head. It's been a while since I've sat down to type out my thoughts. It seems somewhat foreign, if I'm honest. Ha. I had a terrible manager once - at a company call TEK Systems - who would treat you like a dick if you said, 'if I'm being honest'. He thought it was disingenuous that for any reason someone wouldn't be honest. I always thought, "it's a turn of phrase, you complete asshole." So glad I left that company.

Don't believe the hype. AI is great technology - and maybe even a little frightening in some applications, let's be honest. What I don't question about AI, and using Chat GPT as the dialed-in example, is that it will never be able to fully and completely take over from humans where the written word is concerned.

But there is a point at which the humanity of writing, of understanding nuance of a topic, of being able to craft a position such that the audience fully understands your expertise and confluence of ideas that AI cannot replicate. This is a great article I found that says exactly that. Give it a read and see if you agree with me. https://medium.com/change-your-mind/why-chat-gpt-will-never-replace-human-writing-9872a63f90f7
