Panel excerpt urging practitioners to avoid mindless automation of outreach and instead use AI to enhance creativity and critical thinking. Mike Wolford warns against using AI to produce mass, spammy messages and gives a playful example of creative prompting; Maisha Cannon echoes that AI can be a 'thought partner' to riff and enrich work when used intentionally.

This is just me pleading to the community, please don't just automate our outreach, right? Please take the time. Like, this is a chance for us to get better, not just automate, but to improve. So instead of asking it to just write you an email address to a Python developer or something like that, you know, you have a lot of options for your creativity and your outreach. Write an outreach email to a Python developer in the voice of Alan Turing in iambic pentameter with little Easter egg Python code in it, right? Like, challenge the AI, unleash your creativity. Don't write, don't just automate the 95 messages out of a hundred, please, please, as an old sourcer, please, I'm asking, let's not automate spam. Thank you.
Agree, Mike. And let me hop on there real quick, because Wendy called out creativity and you just gave a beautiful example of how our creativity can increase. Because now we don't have the restraints of just our own, you know, cognitive ability. We can now have a thought partner to do that. I am pentameter, which I haven't heard from middle school, so thank you. I haven't heard that since middle school. But, yeah, you know, now we have a partner to kind of riff with. So, yeah, I think creativity and critical thinking can increase if we are intentional, as Diane mentioned earlier, about how we use the tool, right, not just for a quick fix, but for really enriching.
What we do, right?
