    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
      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 But why do you need learning and remembering when you have AI? /s

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

              @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.

              @petrillic @VeeRat I do look stuff up in my notes all the time so I do electronic, can't search physical notebooks for a phrase or whatever. But totally get the value of handwriting for memory.

                    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.

                                  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 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 Raises the old point that those who feel secure in themselves are happy to treat others as valid and complementary, while those who are insecure have to push everyone else to do as they do, and patronise them.

                                      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.”

                                      @VeeRat You are so right. In college, I tried one semester to not take notes, but listen attentively instead, because I rarely if ever referred back to the notes I had written. My grades divebombed… next semester, I started writing notes again, that I then never referred to, and my grades recovered. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Lesson learned.

                                        @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 Yes, I am 100% certain that this manager will never read the AI generated summary. And if they did they wouldn’t know what it was referring to. I hate everything about this timeline.

                                          @UweHalfHand @VeeRat In college, I took notes in class, but they were hasty and not necessarily very legible. That evening, I'd re-write the notes in clearer handwriting, adding in things that I remembered from what I'd heard in class earlier. That extra bit of writing helped me to remember a lot more of what I'd learned.
