It's incredibly easy to write written correspondence without saying something offensive or incompetent. Sounds like you have a skill issue...and an intelligence issue.

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!

OP - I suggest you get on board. They are likely getting things done ten times faster than you. They will be offered more opportunities because they are getting things done. Eventually it's going to catch up with you.

I don't think people who like lazy writing hacks are the kind of high-powered people who are going to put their newly available time into being more productive for their employer.

It's very difficult to determine what pieces of white collar work are actually driving productivity, efficiency, etc.

I see people taking time back for themselves. Or to allow more meeting time. Who's to say if that enhances productivity.

I do think that people who sell glib summaries (consultants) may be more productive at producing slides. I'm not sure if that will reflect in consulting profits or reduced prices to clients. So it might mean that the most AI-friendly consultants get better work-life balance.

Currently AI cannot do very much of my job as a lot of my job involves informal organizational knowledge too expensive to digitize and IT systems too expensive to join together in an AI-exposable fashion.
