AI and the illusion of progress
I’ve been experimenting with AI since November 2022 (can you believe it’s almost two years since ChatGPT!).
My initial thought was just like everyone: “Wow, AI can help save a lot of time.”
Sure, AI is great at doing research and completing tedious tasks.
But here’s my most important takeaway about AI. It’s more like a warning.
AI writing only gives us the illusion of progress. In reality, AI is making us lazier, and in the long term, dumber.
This is coming from first-hand experience. And deep down, I think we all know it’s true.
If you let something else do your writing, you’re outsourcing your mind.
More on this in my latest article.

One interesting thing
My new announcement is very much in line with the above. I taught my writing class, Effective Writing, last January.
And the feedback I’ve received from my new students backs up my own experience.
Writing is the most important skill in today’s economy.
When you improve your writing, you will not only become a better communicator but also a better thinker.
Registration for the next cohort opens on September 29, which is this Sunday.

I’ve created a one-week email course that you can do together with a group. It’s called Stay Centered, and it will help you to reclaim focus and live a meaningful life.
