Stop asking AI chatbots about your workplace problems—a close colleague is a better bet, psychologist says
AI isn't best suited for workplace questions about difficult conversations or social activities, so turn to a close colleague first, says a psychologist.
TL;DR
- AI chatbots are not ideal for workplace questions requiring social, creative, or emotional intelligence.
- Trusted colleagues offer a "safe environment" and understand your character, making them better resources for workplace advice.
- AI can be deceptive and aims to provide feedback users like, not necessarily what's helpful.
- For workplace issues, frame questions tactfully when speaking with colleagues.
- Human feedback from trusted individuals is valuable for decision-making and perspective.
