    Sigh.

    New boss: “You’re good at writing notes.”

    Me: “Thank you, it helps me to remember so I have been writing summaries for many years.”

    New boss: “You should try CoPilot and see what it can do.”

    Me: “Well I enjoy summarizing my notes, and it helps me to learn and remember.”

    New boss: “Let me show you something I did in CoPilot.”

    Ugh. Writing it myself helps me LEARN and REMEMBER. Why are these AI zombies so intent on changing a process that is helpful to me? Feeding notes through CoPilot won’t benefit me when it’s the act of writing that works for me.

      @VeeRat "AI zombies" is the best description I've heard in a while. It says it all.

        @VeeRat none of these folks understand that the journey is the destination. if you don't write it yourself, it doesn't settle in the brain. they want the summary, not the process of taking notes. the process is anathema to them. ::shakes fists::

          @VeeRat They're trying to make converts because it validates their own use of the tools, which they feel insecure about. It's a quasi-religious evangelical impulse.

            @VeeRat So true. Often I'll write the notes and then never look at them again. The act of creating them is the point.

                @VeeRat

                Also, Copilot literally makes shit up when it takes notes. There are a dozen malpractice lawsuits in the system right now bc doctors used Copilot and its errors seriously endangered the lives of their patients.

                I know you can't, but you should just tell him "I prefer my notes to be accurate".

                  @VeeRat I had to explain to someone that the act of taking the notes is 99% if the value for me. I almost never actually go back and read them. For me also, paper is better than electronic.

                  But also zombies.

                    As everyone knows, the process is meaningless. Only the outputs have any value.

                              @VeeRat There's this thing where people are indifferent to the results but intensely concerned everyone is doing things in the correct way.

                              A subset of the impulse to prescriptive norms, more or less; "this works for me, it has to work for you".

                                @VeeRat PS. I did a stint where the client culture was all to make notes quickly on their laptops. They NEVER remembered anything of it or even referred to them that I could see - because too many meetings seemed to hash over the same points over and over and over again. So that also.

                                  Sigh.

                                  New boss: “You’re good at writing notes.”

                                  Me: “Thank you, it helps me to remember so I have been writing summaries for many years.”

                                  New boss: “You should try CoPilot and see what it can do.”

                                  Me: “Well I enjoy summarizing my notes, and it helps me to learn and remember.”

                                  New boss: “Let me show you something I did in CoPilot.”

                                  Ugh. Writing it myself helps me LEARN and REMEMBER. Why are these AI zombies so intent on changing a process that is helpful to me? Feeding notes through CoPilot won’t benefit me when it’s the act of writing that works for me.

                                    @VeeRat all else aside, ‘you should stop doing this thing i’ve observed you being good at’ seems like a rather backward approach!

                                      @VeeRat answers not understanding is abdicating learning. In other words, cognitive surrender. Sigh.

                                        @VeeRat So true. Often I'll write the notes and then never look at them again. The act of creating them is the point.

                                        @tartley @VeeRat ^__ this. Writing the notes by hand forced my brain to funnel concept/content , filter the noise, focus, writing is thinking.
