I'm getting more done than ever, but pride in my work is at an all-time low. The average quality of the work I do has improved dramatically over the last 6 months. Many of the engineering disciplines ...
When I read what you wrote, I immediately thought about the consequences of the division of labour due to the Industrial Revolution, and how this affected people’s wellbeing. But in that case was a mechanisation of physical production and everything around it.
This is different because is mechanising cognitive production and that is why it feels so invasive. You don’t need to understand to produce and it could be scary.
My strategy has been to set limits on what I do with AI and to choose aspects of my work that require less understanding and judgment on my part. As for the rest, I handle it myself. I might occasionally have the AI review it for logical consistency, just in case I’ve missed something. Ultimately, however, the final decision on what to accept or reject is always mine.
Does this make me less productive? Perhaps, but I retain essential skills that extend beyond the scope of my job.
