The AI Fatigue is really creeping in

I don’t think anybody would argue if I say the ever changing world we’re living in, thanks to AI is getting a bit much now. And as someone who works in one of those big tech companies betting huge on AI, it’s hard for me to poo poo it completely. You see, a significant part of my wealth is tied to AI investments paying off. From being begrudgingly forced to use it in my day job everyday, to sometimes seeing actual value in its capabilities, while also being an artist who values human creativity and hates he fact that nobody really reads or thinks anymore, most days I’m left confused. One thing that I don’t need AI for is writing when I’m just writing our own thoughts. Or at least I don’t want to. So I just want to say that whatever you read on my blog or newsletters, there will be no AI involved in crafting that. Pinky promise!

The most important reason for that is that there’s SO much pleasure in writing from your heart using your own thoughts. I don’t think anyone else can articulate my thoughts better than I can, especially not a machine. But also, it is SO SUPER exhausting to read AI written stuff, isn’t it? It just hurts my brain to have to make sense of it. If for some reason you want to experience that first hand, all you have to do is go to LinkedIn and read literally any post that comes up. All AI, all full of emojis, accompanied by crappy and unnecessary AI generated illustrations and somehow people think it is impressive. I’m tired of reading that annoyingly chirpy tone, the “not just this, but that”, and the indentation after every damn sentence. Not EVERYTHING needs to be a new paragraph, please!   

But I digress. There is something innocently beautiful about putting down your thoughts and not using a “business ready” tone always. I want to flex that muscle more now (I might be rusty!) and I want to talk about art more. So here we go. Come along for the ride if you want :)
