"You know, because why sit and reflect when we can go straight from a half-baked idea to a fully executed mistake in 0.5 seconds?"
I am stealing this for an email sig, but I'm a polite person so I'm letting you know.
Also, "As soon as possible" is misunderstood by so many people we perhaps need to say "as soon as possible, but no sooner". (Compare also "as simple as possible, but no sooner", often attributed to Einstein among others.)
I couldn't agree more. Hopefully it will settle and get to a point where gen AI will stay away from art and culture and be used where most needed in areas such as medicine and science.
AI is already doing good things in medicine and science, but just to be clear, it's not gen AI. Typically it is classification (or categorization AI) or other forms of AI.
GenAI is AI's dump party trick. Or annoying younger brother. Or racist type-ahead. Something like that.
Oh my this is so beautifully said Sari. I have actually been thinking about ‘slow AI’ like the ‘slow food’ movement. You articulated this so well. Thank you!
My partner, Charl, never wrote anything 'on time'. She just refused. She had to complete the whole thing first (even 20-30 pages) in her head, and even more importantly, she had to 'get the first sentence/brush stroke/note right, first'- this sometimes took months, but it was always worth waiting for. Each to their own.

Rory Sutherland pointed this out recently at some conference. Good point

"The problem isn’t that machines are becoming more human-like, it’s that humans are becoming more machine-like in an effort to keep up."
So true!! Loved this piece Sari!

Thanks so much, Sari.
I once wrote a (short) blog-poem in favour of declaring one day (just one day per year) a 'slow day.' (Just '24 little hours,' as the song goes.)
To try to make a dip/blip in the global GDP - nothing if not ambitious. Didn't get much purchase. :(
