I sure would love to outsource my hard conversations to AI.
I’m non-confrontational. My nature is to shy away and deflect. But I’m also adult enough to have them when needed. I’m currently in the middle of a couple of them, both professionally and personally.
How can AI help me here?
“Handling challenging conversations with colleagues can be difficult but important for maintaining effective working relationships. Here are some steps you can take to navigate this situation:
– ChatGPT
- Stay calm and composed: It’s natural to feel defensive or upset…“
And on for another seven bullet points.
As I suspected. It can’t. And it won’t ever.
AI can’t help because it’s never had a hard conversation. Or rather, it’s never felt a hard conversation. It doesn’t know when it’s having a hard conversation. It doesn’t know when to engage or walk away.
Future AI may be trained on counseling and hard conversations and possibly give the impression of engaging, but it still doesn’t know. Not really.
Would AI ever think to itself, “I think I’ll walk away from this.”
