From Lily Chambers: I genuinely do not care if AI tools make me more productive. I am tired of seeing, "increased productivity" as a selling point. I do not want to be valued for my productivity. I do not want "more" of anything related to work. I like doing things meticulously. I like using my hands. I like manipulating data that an LLM could interpolate for me because it helps me learn. I like making to-do lists by hand with a fountain pen on the thick paper in my planner. I like that my brain moves slowly sometimes because I'm thinking deeply. I like that I need to pause and stop and start before knowing how to write something. I don't want to read another bullet-point listicle-style LinkedIn status update that is in ChatGPT's exact voice and tone. I want to read about how you are doing in your own voice and tone. I want to read your typos. I want to pick up on the little bit of dyslexia that shines through in your writing. I want to see the little people-y flaws that pop up because your toddler is pulling on your pant leg while you work or your dog keeps trying to get you to play fetch. I want to finish my job each day and sit in the grass with my son. I want my nails to have dirt under them and my cheeks to have freckles from being in the sun. I want to do less. I want to produce less. I do not want the weight of my value to be measured in the complexity of my prompt engineering or how many things I packed into an agenda with productivity tools and hacks. I recognize the argument is that AI-enabled tools "make time" for me to do this, but the rhetoric I so often see says otherwise. We cannot at once embrace that AI makes us more human and that AI makes us more productive, unless of course, what it means to be human to you is how much you do and produce in a day. For me, being human is simply enough.
