Just use AI – to compose a literature review (it’s accurate some of the time), to write programs (why learn a language), to analyse qual interviews (it saves you from listening), to analyse quant data (it saves you from learning statistics), to synthesise data (it saves time on fieldwork), to review others’ work (which used AI), to email a colleague or client (it corrects your horribly human tone), to summarise meetings (nobody writes notes, so they will forget anything it misrepresents), to generate insights (others may have had, but few will check or read them anyway), to write polished job applications (that edit you out), to compose poetry that rhymes (no more struggling to find words) or doesn’t (just use the right prompt), to create art (that reminds you of exhibitions you once saw), to tell stories (like authors you used to read), to write letters to loved ones, to apologise with no effort, to make important decisions, to think, to dream. Just use AI, it will make you happier and more productive and free up time to do something else—ask AI for ideas. If you want it more bleak, lighter, or academic, tell me which direction and I’ll take it there.
