My Conversations with AI Are Becoming a Cycle of Work Requests and Reports
While working on this article through voice conversations with AI, I noticed that our exchanges were starting to feel like requesting work and receiving reports. I explain an idea and ask for something to be done. I read what comes back and check it myself. Then, based on what I find, I ask for the next piece of work. The process feels similar to asking another person to do a job. One side makes…
In a recent article, the author reflects on their interactions with AI through voice conversations, noting that these exchanges have become a cycle of work requests and reports. The process involves making a request, receiving a report, and then deciding what to do next. This mirrors the typical back-and-forth between a person requesting a task and another completing it and presenting the results for review.
The author finds voice conversations easier to concentrate on compared to typing, as speaking allows for a clearer focus on the discussion. They have asked AI to generate an article based on this experience but found the draft somewhat lacking. However, by discussing what feels missing and working through those thoughts candidly, they were able to shape the article into a clear pattern: voice request, report response, decision making, and another voice request.
This pattern closely resembles the dynamics of human work interactions, where one party asks for something and the other delivers the results for review. The author believes that this style of interaction with AI can enhance their thinking and decision-making. Speaking aloud allows for a more natural flow of ideas and a clearer articulation of concerns, which can lead to more substantive revisions.
Furthermore, the author points out that AI can provide valuable information and perspectives that the author might not have considered, making the process of writing and reviewing more thorough. The ability to easily revisit and reread the material on screen also aids in the revision process.
Ultimately, the author sees their work with AI shifting towards more spoken interactions, while still utilizing text for precise conditions or numbers. They emphasize the importance of choosing the right medium for communication and checking the AI-generated reports to determine the next steps whether to seek more research, make revisions, or consider the work complete. This cycle of request, review, and decision-making using AI is becoming a core part of the author's work process.
