Intellectual trade vs AI

So much things happening right now in the wake of ChatGPT.

This is the perfect opportunity to remind a few things.

Yes some (marketing) people should beware of AI, but because their trade was empty in the first place.

In fact everyone sitting in front of a computer without much self-reflexion should worry.

An uncontrolled production is now possible with texts, images. But that’s not work.

We still need a framework to organise the ins and outs.

I sell to my clients a portion of my intellectual trade to fulfill their needs whether in accounting or in document design.

I only use the computer as a tool, I know beforehand what I have to do and how I should do it.

I recently learn about the word digraphy. In fact this is the double entry, it also this is about connecting the dots between the ins and outs of any economic operation. It appears that Egyptians invented it about 3’700 years ago. Not that new, and still how crucial is it to connect the dots these days?

I use type a lot, by taste, opportunity and necessity. My handwriting is more an artistic gesture than a functional tool.

I was thinking that type is beauty, order and information combined. In the same time architecture is beauty and order, accounting is order and information.

I read last IA post and was glad about it.

Language is indeed a bridge across space and time. You can style it in IBM Plex type system (just IA does in a way), or in Roboto type system (like you can do it in Google Docs and Google Sheets). You could do it in Helvetica Now (with circles and arrows, it is a design thinking flavour of Helvetica). MT should boost that, perhaps adding a monospace version and offer a writing tool display this type system. Type is just clothes and bicycles for the mind as it express itself with language, this bridge it was referring to earlier. I think I live on that bridge, and I am not alone, many of us are living there.
