David C. Baker had a post today about AI. But it hit deeper. To me, it’s one of the most accurate definitions of what generic, inexpert, and pushy salespeople are: AI is amazing at deeper research. Two examples of that for me, today. It’s great at summary analysis, a brainstorming partner, data shaping and synthesis. And especially coding.
Where it sucks (so far) is faux personalization at scale. It’s like a real smart college friend who isn’t self-aware and has no social skills and who knows everything but can’t read the room. It’s like the guy who can’t shut up and listen, and drags every conversation out too long and has no emotional variability–just a flatline encyclopedia. Reading it and you want to stab your own eyes out and make it stop. On and on just because it can.
AI content is so incredibly easy to spot, and then I waste my time looking for any evidence of humanity in the endless text.
I’d like it to be more succinct and POV-laden, but then it just makes shit up and act’s like another of your college friends who doesn’t even know how to spell n-u-a-n-c-e.
It’s like the guy who can’t shut up and listen, and drags every conversation out too long and has no emotional variability–just a flatline encyclopedia. Reading it and you want to stab your own eyes out and make it stop. On and on just because it can. Please don’t be that guy. |
