Human at Work #004 - Have the Conversation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Going into voice mode on ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever is so easy.I don’t need to wait for someone to be available or schedule a meeting.

I can just accept the proposed AI response.And if someone does something that bothers me, it’s very easy to jump into ChatGPT, talk it through, sense-check whether I’m overreacting, a

ChatGPT. Gemini. Copilot (yes, Copilot. Don’t judge me). Claude.They all just… faded away for a season.And it was good.Now I’m rustling out of hibernation and slowly starting to use them again.
