Ever Needed Someone to Bounce Ideas Off Of at 2am?

AI has a place, and is a tool that can help immensely to save time with mundane tasks. Today, I used it to separate a client contact spreadsheet that exported with a "name" column that included first and last name in the same data cell. When I was about 50 out of 1600 names into separate "first name" and "last name" columns, it occured to me that AI could do this in 3 minutes... and it did. I see the danger when we start using AI as a tool to outsource human relations, emotional regulation, and a sense of belonging. I don't need AI to give me affirmations or tell me how good my ideas are. I know that. Bouncing ideas and seeing different perspectives is a gray area... and I think it's fine as long as we stay in the driver's seat with being the decision-making human. AI is great for data acquisition and information management and comparisons... and we need to make the decisions, and take responsibility for the outcomes, and self-reflect on our impact on this human world.
