AI is definitely disrupting a lot of the thinking. Human psychology is designed to look for 'shortcuts', AI is just another tool. Totally agree with you.

Agree, it's a shortcut. We can define for ourselves what.

- Shortcutting towards some output somehow

- Shortcutting in the sense of actually growing as a person, which took many years without AI.

I personally discuss a lot with chatGPT advanced voice mode. Often doing that on the run, in the car, or when walking. It's a way to reflect on and push an idea forward. It can be set to a challenging mode, which makes it quite interesting.

But when it comes to creating things, which usually starts with a recording of some kind, it's all generated on the fly out of my head.

So AI does influence my work, but more as a reflective, debating partner during the day.

PS: I am doing that with humans often as well. But these conversations are mostly about specific things in relation to one person, not too deep into a particular topic I am thinking about right now.

Great ideas here. I see also the thinning. Perhaps that is okay if the quality of the thinner slice is 10x higher so people can more quickly get to the gems? Wading through tons of verbiage to find the treasure is often tedious.

Substack does it better than LinkedIn. The latter platform lost it, in my humble opinion. It incentivizes the wrong things, especially for a business platform where sharing knowledge should be a priority.

Substack, on the other hand, lets you work more closely with real people.

Agreed. LinkedIn is a cash cow on run off, sinking in a sea of noise - in my humble opinion

"I believe that it’s not that people don’t want depth, it’s that they no longer know what it feels like." Isn't that a self-feeding cycle, or a downward spiral? 😀

I agree, and I think we are aligned here.

I hope so as well and I am happy to a degree that I am not that dependent on this "system" or algorithms currently. But I know, if I want to go more in this direction, I will be. That's the learning from the last 7 years of creating content.

"Without being an expert on the matter," Who is? Everyone who says it will be corrected by the algorithms a month later. In the stoic sense, I accepted that I cannot control these things, but I can decide how I act and react in this world.

It's a long game and focusing on having a great journey together with other creators, writers, and leaders is what I am looking for. Because that is aligned with my purpose and sustainable :)
