You used your tools well. The times are adapting and it's best we get on with it. It's the only way we can discover another step-change.

I use AI to help craft technical messages to different audiences and get various perspectives on my ideas and questions. It's a tool that's given me more insight into other perspectives than anything else, and it's helped me make some excellent slides.

Executives and senior leadership really need things at different levels. They are abstracting domains like we extract functions. Then there are the technical leaders, who this speaks to. I shared this article with my VP and peers. I expect it will be too much for some, but it remains approachable.

It's not all roses though, I tried using various LLMs to help me draft a personal message and it left me feeling remarkably conflicted. It was my message, but it lost my voice, even when just used to reach my niece's "audience" . I haven't found out how to use it and still allow for my creative emotional expression.

I don't use it for emails, because it still feels professionally dishonest for me; for some reason, presentations don't. I'm bad at them and it helps.

One more thing: I instruct LLMs to not let me meander like this.

Just want to say that I appreciate you sharing all that and being open about it.

As someone who has mostly ignored the AI progression it is interesting to see. And a bit bewildering.
