Train Your Brain to Work Creatively with Gen AI
Sree VijaykumarThere 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.

Stopping the Press

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 basement of distrust, alongside the members of the United States Congress.
