Train Your Brain to Work Creatively with Gen AI
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=103285&nl=daily are
countless articles on how to use generative AI (gen AI) to improve
work, automate repetitive tasks, summarize meetings and customer
engagements, and synthesize information. There are also scores of
virtual libraries brimming with prompting guides to help us achieve
more effective and even fantastical output using gen AI tools. Many
common digital tools already feature integrated AI co-pilots to
automagically enhance and complete writing, coding, designing,
creating, and whatever it is you’re working on. But there is so much
more to generative AI beyond enhancing or accelerating what we already
do. With the right mindset shift, or mindshift, we can train our
brains to creatively rethink how we use these tools to unlock entirely
new value and achieve exponential outcomes in what’s becoming an
AI-first world.

Charles Dickens, a journalist of such Victorian energies that he
managed to write some fiction on the side, was a keen observer of
human vanities. Of a minor figure in Our Mutual Friend, he wrote, Mr.
Podsnap was well to do, and stood very high in Mr. Podsnaps opinion.
In our time, journalists have been made to realize that they are
widely viewed as Podsnaps: privileged peacocks, stubbornly
unreflective, happily acquainted with their own merit and importance.
Reliable outfits such as the Pew Research Center report that the news
media, which, in the middle of the twentieth century, was among the
most highly regarded institutions in public life, now dwells in a dank
