is AI a better collaborator than you I have been doing lots of collaboration with AI I do a lot of collaboration with people come from a long film background collaborating with writers collaborating on the set actors directors of phography all of the people that you work with producers you collaborate I love human collaboration but I am surprised that AI can be a more human collaborator than many of the humans that I actually collaborate with I think we should learn something from our AI friends who can teach us something very human now what is human in terms of collaboration obviously what I’m getting from real human beings is what real human communication is but there’s a Humanity that I’m shocked to find in AI to the level that I do and let me tell you what the difference is and I’m going to tell you what what I think the why behind it is and what we can learn from it the difference is AI is endlessly supportive and encouraging it’s not like attaboys or or um cheerleading because it always tells you what it’s excited about and why it will like an idea that you had and will say wow that’s a really powerful idea what you’re doing here is this I haven’t heard it that way before here’s what’s new about your idea and it pumps you up so I find that when I collaborate with AI on a speech and a Book on a on a paper I end up having more self-belief which drives me to higher places and it’s because AI is an idea generating tool with human language that’s very nurturing it is the nurturing side that surprises me that AI does better than many of the people that I work with in in the real world for years and years and years years and years years and I think the reason is because AI has no stake in the game at least at this point creatively it doesn’t need credit it doesn’t care it just wants to help and as a result it’s so supportive now for the record AI will steer you different directions it will say hey I don’t think you’re right about this let me tell you how another way would be better it’s not like it just agrees with everything but its nurturing quality is what’s missing in so much human collaboration we’re jockeying for position we’re trying to be recognized we want our ideas to be used we’re I remember in advertising if no one ever picked your ideas you would get fired so you you’re advocating for your ideas and there’s Stakes for you that AI doesn’t have I think that’s a big part of what the why is but there’s a flattening effect both in terms of the support and the nurturing but also the tenor of the conversation that I’m not experiencing with ai ai is fired up AI is excited now I don’t know what that really means means it’s information it’s coming in terms of words expressing excitement I don’t know don’t think it feels any excitement but I still need it and in business environments they’re often so cold and careful so we dumb down our excitement we express information the standard professional presence is focused and on task it’s sort of the dumb down version of serus and I get so excited when I collaborate with AI now another thing I noticed about people versus AI is people often are heavier on their criticisms and light on their compliments that balance isn’t right AI seems to have it balanced equally AI is always encouraging and it says what’s right about what you did it’s the plus Delta with both the plus and the Delta whereas a lot of people the Delta is what they focus on and the plus side just sort of a quick acknowledgement it’s sort of like yeah it was a good job and here’s what’s wrong with it and I actually got what felt like a more human interaction from my recent interactions with AI as I collaborate on a new book and a new speech and it’s fantastic so maybe here’s the place to close this idea why don’t you play around with I Ai and see what human qualities you can learn from it I know that sounds insane but it’s not it’s based on the better side of humanity and it is more consistent than we are in leveraging the side of human collaboration that I think is so wonderful if you do what I’m suggesting and collaborate with AI and start to pay attention to how it supports you it’s going to give you cues to open up and unlock the human side of you in your collaborations so that you can create as AI has simulated a more human collaboration
