Nick Perry warns that responsible workers are drowning in AI-generated deliverables like 40-page slide decks that could be one email. He says reviewers should ask authors three questions: What's the objective? Which parts did you actually work on? Where do you need feedback? If they can't answer, they're asking you to do their thinking.
There's a specific person at work who's gonna get absolutely buried by AI, and weirdly, it's the responsible person. Look, somebody is using AI to create these 40-page slide decks that could be one email. They then ship it to somebody else and say, "Hey, can you review this?" Which is easier said than done because person who's reviewing it has to do all of the thinking. The AI makes it extremely easy to produce work that looks finished when it's really not. So if you've been in a similar situation, simply ask the person who gave you the doc these 3 questions. Number 1, what is the objective of the material? Number 2, which parts What did they actually work on? And number 3, where do you specifically need feedback? If they can't answer those 3 questions, they're asking you to do their thinking for you.
