I appreciate the thoughtful way you’ve unpacked this topic. I can’t imagine having access to AI back when I was in college! Honestly, the first time I used it, I felt like I was cheating on a book report. But after two years, it’s become an indispensable tool — saving me hours on everything from crafting grant narratives and refining professional writing to nailing the tone in tricky emails. Even in my personal life, it’s been surprisingly useful (like planning a bourbon trail itinerary for a family trip!)
I’m very interested in how you apply AI to journalism. I’ve found it especially useful to transcribe and summarize long government meetings and extremely long documents. It’s also been fairly useful for policy modeling, coding, and statistics. As long as it has a human editor to fact check.

Thanks! And definitely. It really seems like if you’re not using it at this point, you’re tying a hand behind your back.

All good uses! I’ll try to come back and do that post.
