> Stop if you’ve heard this one before: an employee received a message from her boss and didn’t quite understand its meaning, suspecting it was written by AI. So, the employee asked an AI tool to interpret the message for her. The AI responded and then asked if she wanted a draft response back to her boss.

> But leaders are not actually equipping younger employees to navigate change, communicate effectively, and have good judgment, she said, which lowers their competitive advantage when human-centric skills are driving success in the AI era.

Great.

It looks like "leaders" are building a moat around their jobs, stifling the qualities that a company and employees need to create success and deliver value ( to real people) in an increasingly automated world.

I remember finding the unlikely sounding book "Corps Values" in which U.S. Marines were pushing leadership and decision-making down to the troops from higher levels.

> Only by incorporating such time-honored Marine qualities as pride, discipline, courage, and respect into our personal and professional lives can we meet the challenges that lie ahead.

I wonder what value these qualities have any more, especially when work teaches you to negotiate with a chatbot rather than real people.

We seem to be increasingly living in a Twilight Zone or Star Trek episode. Recall: [0]

> A Taste of Armageddon (episode). On a diplomatic mission, the crew visit a planet that is waging a destructive war fought solely by computer simulation, but the casualties, including the crew of the USS Enterprise, are supposed to be real.
