tl;dr: As AI-generated content floods workplace communication, sending un-reviewed AI output to colleagues has become an etiquette violation—essentially asking humans to spend attention on something you didn't think worth your own. The author's rule: if you want human attention, demonstrate human effort by reviewing AI output first, clearly labeling it, and adding your own commentary.
HN Discussion:
  • Coworkers flooding teams with un-reviewed AI output makes engagement difficult and validates the article's rule
  • Workers who fully delegate to AI risk being replaced and should demonstrate deep human value
  • Built tools or new responses to detect/signal human effort in response to AI-flooded communications
  • ~Prompts should be shared transparently alongside AI output for reproducibility
  • Distinguishing AI from humans will stop mattering since AI conversation may surpass humans
