What I learned using AI to write about AI

My hope for humans alongside this growing technology

Just wrote my first article with some AI assistance from thundercontent.com. And now my second.

Generally, I’m a proponent of humans doing work. I loathe the automated answering services and call routing experience I have with financial, internet and insurance providers. I realize I don’t have a choice here, but please let me talk to a person without having to listen to 15 different options I care nothing about.

However, the technology has progressed significantly and has proved to be far more useful of late.

Warming up to AI

I have found these four things have been driving my acceptance of AI.

Simplicity

The clearer the value proposition and the more specific the task that AI has to offer the more I enjoy it. For example, I enjoy using slackbot to remind me of tasks that I need to complete.

Helpfulness

How helpful is the actual work that the AI does? Simple interactions like allowing LinkedIn to make a suggestion on how I should reply to a message are really helpful and save me micro-seconds of time.
