For all human history, it was far more difficult to write a document than to read it. Until now. But generating a document doesn't make the work of *producing meaning* disappear. It's just been outsourced from the producers of the document to its consumers.

Is AI useful or not? To answer that, you shouldn't imagine a fully focused and energized version of yourself making use of it. Rather, picture yourself swamped, tired, and in a rush. That's how you'll get an honest answer.
