AI’s cool but…

“Thank God for ChatGPT!” No doubt, you probably hear (or say) this all the time too.

I’m grateful for it, I use it every day, but I have to say, as a consumer, it’s often not quite so magical.

Seeing a obviously AI-generated post and spotting an extra finger, or reading an email that is definitely not written by a human - it all feels a bit…meh.

It’s like you’ve been served the fake, plastic display food at a restaurant. It looks great, but something is off - it has no substance, and you’re definitely not coming back for seconds.

I have the urge to unfollow, unsubscribe, run.

For businesses and creators, AI can be a game-changer. It saves time and money.

BUT if it doesn’t connect (and even turns customers away), what’s the point of doing it in the first place?

AI definitely has its place (like I say, I use it every day), and it will only get better but it needs human curation.

I love it to get ideas flowing, summarise long documents, or give the final polish on a project, but it shouldn’t run the show because we’re communicating with people on the other side of the screen - not bots.
