  • So whilst I do this myself and 100% believe that multi-tasking like this is a good thing, the one argument I’ve seen which I don’t have a suitable response to is the idea that if you have time to spend on other thing rather than working, you’re not managing your workload correctly. I.e you’re being paid to work, not paid to fill the washing machine, pop to the shops etc. If you find yourself with spare time you should be proactively asking your manager for additional work, rather than goofing off. Same applies for working in the office.






  • ‘Everyone anywhere’? That’s an amazingly broad statement. What’re you defining as ‘using one’? If I use ChatGPT to rewrite a paragraph, should I be fired? What about if a non native speaker uses it to remove grammatical errors from an email, should they be fired? How about using it for assisting with coding errors? Or generating draft product marketing copy? Or summarising content for third parties to make it easier to understand? Still a fireable offence? How about generating insights from data? Assistance with Roadmap prioritisation? Generating summaries of meeting notes or presentations? Helping users with learning disabilities understand complex information? Or helping them with letters, emails etc? How about if it use it to remind me of tasks? Or managing my routines?
