            "content_html": "<p>Some random thoughts on AI. Not comprehensive by any means. Just little things that popped into my head every now and then...</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Like it or not, the AI revolution is here. Either fight it or begin embracinging it. Those who continue to fight will find themselves behind the eight ball once they finally realize it's time to accept the technology.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>As with any tool, what a user produces will reflect the skill of the person. A master craftsman will produce excellent results in a fraction of the time. The novice will produce janky unsecure slop -- though also in a fraction of the time.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>The results of a novice will improve very little. Results of a master craftsman will improve quickly. To put it another way, AI will put a magnifying glass on the efforts of those who use it. Lazy people will forever produce slop and not care; thoughtful creators will intentionally spend time polishing their use of the tool.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>AI will (does) allow for much faster prototyping. This could have implications when it comes to writing design documentation. I see design docs being written <em>after</em> the initial prototyping happens, versus before, turning SCRUM methodologies on their head.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>At the same time, good design docs will become less common as project managers question why they're even bothering to create them. Heck, they may even begin asking ChatGPT to write their spec based on the code of the prototype.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>AI has the potential to help us wade through the noise of our day to day if used wisely. Every morning, I ask for a summary of what's in my work email inbox to focus on important items. This has saved me some time already, but, other important things have been missed. And because of that...</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>I do not see AI ever <em>fully</em> replacing the judgement of a human -- but I could end up being very wrong about this. Only time will tell.</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>More thoughts to come over time.</p>\n",
