I heard a piece last week on CBC's The Current re: using AI for writing. This sparked conversations w/many ppl re: using AI in work. As a comms pro, I haven't used it much but know many who use it all the time, esp. for generating "routine content" for social posts or newsletters. A cautionary tale.
