In my view, there will always be value in the human component of communication. so we think about ai there's often ways that someone might be able to tell you're using ai whether that's because you're using it to write an email for you or you're reading off a script during a video call or whatever else so these examples may be the ai uses a word you don't normally use like proficient

Or maybe the AI just missed something. As an example, let's say you talk to your coworker the previous day and they mentioned that they had a stomach bug that week and it had been really bad and they finally got over it. And then the next day you use AI, you have it write an email to them, you copy and paste it. And it starts with, I hope you had a good week, exclamation mark.

And clearly you didn't write that message. And the problem is, maybe 98% of the time, the other person won't get it. They won't know that you used AI. But if they realize once that you've used AI to communicate with them, they may question every single interaction you've had with them previously. They may question, was that just AI every single time I've interacted with them?

And then they're going to ask, well, why am I even interacting with this person at all if I'm just communicating with AI? So you want to be careful that in important communication, your words are your own. That's not to say there's not a use for AI. AI is great for editing, for brainstorming, for proofing your message.

And it can be really good for low stakes repeated interactions where just copy and pasting can be good. But when it comes to those important interactions, there's a reason someone wants to talk to you. And they want to be talking to you.

And if they feel like they're not talking to you, but rather talking to an AI, they're going to start questioning whether they need to even have you in their life or in their workplace at all in the first place.

I see the most important takeaway as you should pause and question your communication assumptions and decisions. We lose so much time just going with the flow. We always do a meeting for this, so we'll keep doing a meeting. The conversation's already in email, so we're not gonna switch to phone.

The problem with that approach is that you often end up in the suboptimal choice of communication medium. And when you actually stop and take a strategic approach to communication,
