Knapp: Workers who become constant reaction machines function like chatbots
“If we're a reaction machine, we're not doing meaningful work. No project days. And we're not really alive as humans. We're just chatbots. And so it's worth experimenting if you don't want to live your life out as a chatbot.”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Every knowledge worker and website will have an AI avatar by 2031
“I think every knowledge worker will have one of these in three, four or five years, but mine was more on the go to market side where I think every website will change and there'll be a, an all knowing avatar on that homepage.”

Seshan: Automate writing for reporting with AI, never writing for thinking
“I think you should use the models as much as possible for writing as reporting, and in as much as you think with writing, as I really do, and I think a lot of people do, you should not use it. You know, you shouldn't replace your thinking with it.”
