    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 Handwriting is hard for me. And I can't remember the things I just wrote down (unless I read them multiple times afterwards). I also can't listen to what someone is saying and create usable notes at the same time. My note-taking strategy usually involves either getting someone else to share their notes with me, or sitting down alone afterwards to write down everything I remember.

    I still would not use CoPilot for note-taking because I like my notes to be accurate and on-topic!

        @VeeRat

        They _literally_ don't understand what you mean. I'm the same as you in this respect. The _act_ of writing is valuable. Not the artifact writing produces but the _act_. It's valuable to me personally and I'm not going to stop just because somebody has an AI/LLM/RNG-machine buzz.

              @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.

              @cstross @VeeRat The thing I have seen the most-of is Gen Z and Alpha basically pretending to use AI to make Gamm-pa Boomer Manager happy, but really just learning the ropes and making the connections with the C-Suite while also playing nice with all the Xennials who actually Do Shit.

              The result is when the Boomers FINALLY retire... the youngin's will probably be given the keys and will keep the Xennials who don't suck.

              Much like Intergenerational wealth advice of "Leave it to the grandkids"

                Will the "Xennials who do suck" include a bunch of toadies who couldn't even get AI to do things for them, a LOT of middle management feeling like they are living in a Dilbert Strip... as well as the creepy nepotism hire who knows where the body(ies) are buried?

                Yeeep.

                      @VeeRat
                      Sometimes I think of this story about the early bronze age, when bronze tools were traded along the then trade hubs. That archeologists found a site from people who didn't have their own bronze technology yet, who owned one bronze axe, and several wood replicas.

                      I think of this story, and feel a bit relieved that at least, it's not just us living now.

                          @VeeRat there's actual science to support the eye-hand coordination of writing that supports memory and learning. AI is going to melt people's brains into jelly if we don't stop it.

                              @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.

                                    Friend of mine whose ancestors survived the European Pograms has pointed out that education is the only thing they can't take away from you.

                                    Seems like they're trying very hard to cover that base, too.

                                      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.
