My colleagues at the head of a company. I’m one of four bosses. One of us is pushing for AI every single meeting. The other is ignoring her. The last one is starting to ‘see her point.’ I’m considering quitting if this goes to far but unwilling to make that threat yet, as it’s a bridge I can only cross once.

Anyway. To me it just speaks to the disdain for semi-intellectual work. People seem to think producing text has some value of its own. They think they can shortcircuit the basic assumption that behind every text is an intention that can be relied upon. They think that if they substitute this intention with a prompt, they can create the same value. I expect there to be some kind of bureaucratic collapse because of this, with parties unable to figure out responsibility around these zombie-texts. After that begins cleaning up, legislating and capturing in policy what the status of a given text is etc. Altman &co will have cashed out by then.
