Had never heard of Smaply-- will check it out. Thanks!

Going to be very interesting to see if and how this shifts as a generation who used them throughout college enters the white collar workforce

Man, those replies are fascinating. So increasingly obvious to me that this technology is rapidly exiting its honeymoon phase.

I happen to believe it’s transformational and not going anywhere (even in its simplest use cases) but the blowback is real. How that settles over time will be interesting!

I say this fully knowing that doing so launches me into a new life stage, but nonetheless: good grief.

Oh! And because I think there's too much focus on what new technologies are capable of and not enough focus on how how people are using, feeling about, and understanding them, I've started a side project where I'm writing about new research I come across that's focused on that: theunderstanders.com

I don't know how the folks who are on the air every day deal with the never-ending flood of emails from insufferable language scolds. Crazies!

Maybe this already exists but it would be so interesting to see measures of creativity or expression emerge over time, too. So much of the huge value these tools do and will deliver is grounded in objectively right/wrong outputs and reasoning, but we’ll be using them for creative tasks, too.

This one came up on shuffle for me: open.spotify.com/track/6MQlNH...
