This morning at work, I received again a AI generated answer (as a screenshot) to an issue. I was not really in the mood this morning, here's my reply:
```
Hello <redacted>,
Let's have a proper chat later, whenever is most convenient for you.
I do have one slightly unusual request: would it be possible not to use AI when discussing these kinds of things with me ? I genuinely prefer talking things through directly with people, with all the imperfections that come with that, rather than with a "clanker".
Quite often, the answers AI gives me are not quite right because it simply does not have all the context. I then have to spend time understanding the suggestion, checking it, and eventually working out the correct solution anyway.
I realise this request may sound a little odd, and it is absolutely nothing personal. But there is also a broader point behind it: if we gradually replace every interaction between colleagues with AI-generated answers, we risk removing quite an important part of what actually constitutes our work: discussing things, exchanging ideas, challenging each other and solving problems together.
And taken to its logical conclusion, if all those interactions are eventually delegated to AI, then at some point neither you nor I may have much of a job left, which is something I don't want.
Thank you.
