Sure, that is one other thought piece about AI!
AI is simply so highly effective, so revolutionary, and so transformative, so probably useful and great and but so probably disturbing and dystopian, that I simply can’t cease occupied with and speaking about it. And I’ve some extra ideas I’d prefer to share.
Right here is the place I stand. I genuinely really feel that AI is right here to assist us with the menial duties, with planning our holidays, with decluttering our computer systems and our minds, with serving to us prepare dinner dinner from no matter occurs to be in our fridge within the model of Ina Garten. However in my coronary heart of hearts, I consider that AI just isn’t right here to exchange every of our distinctive voices—editorially and actually.
In my business of public relations, storytelling is every little thing. AI may be an unbelievable assistant for first drafts or outlines, a dutiful thought companion for a brainstorming session, or simply an accountability agent that can assist you get issues out the door. I don’t see this as an alternative choice to creativity, however as a substitute, as an engine.
Right here’s the place issues get dangerous: sameness. Blah, boring, little bins on the hillside writing. If everyone seems to be utilizing the identical AI instruments and deploying them for a similar use instances, the media panorama begins to really feel like one monotonous, beigey (the technical time period) house.
To be clear: Human perception and writing nonetheless wins each time. Each. Single. Time!
Don’t let AI trick you into pondering it’s “smarter” or “higher” than you, as a result of by simply being you, in and of itself, you’ve gotten one thing distinctive and worthwhile to contribute. Your lived expertise, your standpoint, your understanding of your viewers, your humorousness, your YOU-ness: that’s the key sauce no algorithm can replicate. What a disgrace if we misplaced it. If we misplaced YOU!
Probably the most profitable publicists, manufacturers, and folks usually will probably be those who deal with AI like a sensible, succesful intern—not a closing decision-maker with full editorial management. Let it do the preliminary analysis, positive, however by no means ever ever give it the final phrase.
So please, don’t concern AI. Be taught it. Play with it. Experiment. Use it to make your processes extra environment friendly and your concepts extra expansive out and in the workplace. Simply promise me that you just received’t ever outsource your voice. Not as a result of it’s dishonest or morally unsound, as a result of you can be left with a lesser product that has much less of YOU in it.
