I am often wrong - Boris Cherny’s Blog
Sometimes I will give feedback to people when they are missing steps in the framework, or are poorly executing some of the steps. I expect the same feedback in return. I try hard to give the feedback in real time, so the person/team can learn more quickly. Most often, the failure mode I see is (3) failure to clearly define the problem, and (4) failure to define an approach that is clear and simple. When one of these is missing, it leads to complex plans and unclear success criteria. For complicated problems, lack of clarity can be hard to spot if you’re the one making the plan, making it even more important to get feedback from people.
I Don’t Want to Read What You Didn’t Write
I don’t want to live in a world where you use AI to summarize something important into unreadable text, and then I use AI in an attempt to decipher it. I want to hear you, imperfections and all. I want your interpretation of aesthetics, beauty, quality, relationship, time. I want to know how you feel. I want you to cut through and tell me what really matters. I don’t want to read a summary of facts and connections separate from experience and relationship. … Intentional writing will likely become more valuable. People who write, and write to think, to think deeply and carefully, or to create, to share, or to capture something important without explicitly expressing it will continue to write and produce original work. The people who never were writers will use AI to produce lots of text.
Don’t use AI to write | Paul Bakker
Writing requires thinking, don’t let an AI do the thinking for you. Writing forces you to deeply think about the problem you’re solving, and what you’re trying to communicate to your readers. This is why writing is hard, but also why writing is such a useful tool to help you think. If you generate a document based on some bullet points, or whatever the source is, you’re skipping the thinking step. The result probably looks “pretty good”, and you’re likely going to accept it with some minor tweaks. But did you think deeply about the problem? Does the document really reflect the most important things you wanted to communicate? Probably not. But you’ll never know, because you skipped the thinking step.
