Tech CEO tells workers to stop using AI chatbots for ideas: ‘I’d rather see 5 bullet points than…’

The CEO of legal artificial intelligence (AI) firm Spellbook has instructed his staff to stop using generative chatbots to draft workplace proposals, warning that computer-generated writing often masks thin thinking behind empty corporate polish. Scott Stevenson, co-founder and CEO of the Toronto-based startup, noted that proposals packed with “AI nonsense” regularly land on his desk. Whether encountering a project roadmap or a sales campaign, Stevenson explained that synthetic text creates a superficial sheen that looks far more sophisticated than the underlying strategy merits.

According to a report by Business Insider, instead of automated elegance, Stevenson is urging his team to hand in their raw, unfinished thoughts.
