Three Groups
The question isn't whether to use AI. It's which group you're in.
Saw this thread today. Standard "CEO is a moron" pile-on, but I think the framing is wrong. There are three groups of people here.
Group 1: people using AI to generate content. They're pushing more volume outward than any human can absorb.
Group 2: people using AI to summarise that content because they have no other way to keep up. If you're a CEO with a 30-page feedback deck attached to one of fifty emails, you are not reading every page. You can't. So AI summary is the only way. That's this CEO.
Group 3: people who've built systems around themselves. Not just "paste into ChatGPT and read the bullets." An actual memory layer that parses every email, surfaces what's new, correlates against prior decisions, brings the right thing to attention at the right time. This is the differentiator.
The CEO in the thread isn't the villain. He's doing what he needs to do to maximise his attention at any given moment. The mistake he's making, if any, is that he's in Group 2 instead of Group 3.
Which is also the question for you. Not whether to use AI. Which group you're in.
