“I Used AI to…”

I see this a lot now. Also, “Here’s the AI summary of…”

There are two reasons why people at my company feel compelled to indicate they’ve used AI:

1. It’s AI, so beware.
2. You keep telling me you want me to use AI, so here you go.

In a way, it’s kinda like a, “So there!”

But, of course, we need to, and will get to the point where we just say, “I did this work…” and “Here’s my summary of…” AI will just become part of our workflow, not a novel or “because you said so” part of it. Part of our work.

Then, we’ll get back to the fact that work with our name on it is our work. No matter what tools we used.

It’s always been your choice about the quality of the work with your name on it.
