A man sitting at his computer tells a woman A.I. TURNS THIS SINGLE BULLET POINT INTO A LONG EMAIL I CAN PRETEND I WROTE.
A woman sitting at her computer tells a man A.I. MAKES A SINGLE BULLET POINT OUT OF THIS LONG EMAIL I CAN PRETEND I READ.
The fact that I have heard company executives talk about both of these activities unironically within the span of the same meeting damages my calm
Emailing just the bullet point will get you on a PIP.
And they'll claim productivity was increased on both ends
That'll be ten thousand dollars and your water supply please
cash or card?
And the end bullet point is also wrong!
The inverted compression algorithm
Management loves AI because management's job is to write emails and reports, not to actually communicate meaningful information.
Normalise terse and succinct communication and life will be less fucking stupid. The problem does not reside in the tool but in our garbage culture of waste.
It's like file compression, but the other way round.
The question is: the bullet point written and the bullet point read will differ.
The truly hilarious thing in this scenario is that the bullet point he wrote and the bullet point she gets will be completely different. Their communication will be literally lost in translation.
So is that what they call "garbage in, garbage out"?
If a job can be done by AI it’s probably a bullshit job.
