No - we're in a creative field (marketing) and discouraging it's use especially for client work. It erodes brand trust, fast.

We can and do use it for other things (notes, ideas, summaries, etc) but marketing needs to be human.

Absolutely, and I want to assure you that your feelings are completely valid and understandable! This is a challenge that many organizations are navigating in today's rapidly evolving AI landscape.

The proliferation of AI-generated content in professional settings is indeed a multifaceted issue with both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, AI tools can boost productivity and streamline workflows. On the other hand, it is important to remember that authentic human voices and perspectives are a core part of what makes organizational communication meaningful and impactful.

Here are some key takeaways to consider as you move forward on this journey:

• It is worth noting that you are not alone in this experience. Many professionals across various industries are grappling with similar concerns.
• Open and honest dialogue with leadership about the importance of authentic communication could be a great first step.
• Remember to prioritize your own wellbeing throughout this process.

At the end of the day, finding the right balance between leveraging AI capabilities and maintaining genuine human connection is an ongoing process. I hope this helps, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you need further support!

It might cheer people here up to know that right now we're getting access to more AI help than is economical to provide. An economic rationalization is coming. I recently had some of the "free" CoPilot features disappeared from my F500 desktop software.

I'm not sure my employer is going to upgrade to the more expensive licenses because it may not be worth $360/year for us to write better e-mails.

Also we were given a custom agent to help us write our mid-year self-evaluation reviews. It did a terrible job. I came up with some other stuff and had AI edit it. AI is great for making minor things sound like accomplishments...naked emperor style.

What's the big deal? It's not like anyone will read it.

Incompetent bosses use it. The cost will skyrocket 4Q this year. Wait for the backlash…

Letting ai write for you reduces risk of saying something offensive or incompetent (and gives you plausible deniability if it does in fact sound stupid)

Everywhere is laying off people, so staying out of controversy is even higher pressure now, so everyone marches to the AI token tempo.

It's depressing. Most of humanity is chooseing to self-lobotomize and people who can actually think are shrinking minority.

Yes. Someone writes an email generated with AI. The recipient writes a rebuttal generated by AI. Who’s having the conversation, really?

Ok, I laughed at this one.

I work for a research organization that has begun to embrace AI but also has strict guidelines on useage. All products that have been produced using AI are required to include specific disclosures - even if it's just internal memos, etc. But leadership uses it constantly and never discloses. It's completely obvious and embarassing and it is going to kill our reputation.

I also work at a company that’s pushing AI hard. I think it has its place and I can also tell when things are written by AI. But I think the best use of AI is when a human does another check to see if the end product makes sense. I hope that’s what separates the good performers from the stars in AI 2.0.

Yes, I worked for a F10 company and they were obsessed about using AI. It was one of the metrics we were scored on for our annual reviews (how much we use AI - the more, the better).

Got laid off from that job. Found a new job, at another F500 company. They also are obsessed with AI and are constantly wanting us to use it. It's so depressing, especially seeing all these damn data centers popping up to store all this nonsense.

I work at a global organization that has drunk the AI Kool Aid, hook, line and sinker. My colleagues produce vast amounts of social media content, internal documens, and even publications which are CLEARLY written by AI. Its depressing. Is this happening everywhere?
