Thanks for giving me lots of good stuff to think about here! I tend to just worry about/avoid/preach against ai use in a blanket way, but you’ve given me some good ideas for how to direct and discuss those worries in a more productive way.
I especially liked and will need to think more about this:
“it isn’t enough to just stop going on your phone. You have to fill the non-phone time with stuff that matters, otherwise that thing that should give us more free time becomes the thing we use our free time for”
and this
“What would it look like for us to assert our values and then shape our technology use around that, rather than let the technology set the values for us?”
Also I can’t remember if I’ve recommended the book “Rewilding Motherhood” to you before, but there was a really interesting chapter in there that I talked about what we lost with labor saving devices in a similar way that you do here. Bonus that it also ties in to pretty much all of your other articles about creativity and motherhood!
Thanks, Rose! I’m embedded in AI-discourse through mine and Phil’s work so I think about it a lot, but it feels far away from what I normally write about here so glad to know it was interesting.
I’ll add the book to my reading list, definitely sounds in my wheelhouse!
