Indeed you can use it to help brainstorm and even do the dull bits.

I'm concerned about this bit due to AI prompting and wondering on best thoughts in the industry on this topic.

Many writing professors have pointed out that writing itself is a way you can think and organize your thoughts. You have a billion neurons firing, thousands of intrusive, subconscious and conscious thoughts, and you collect them altogether into a cohesive writing piece. To many that is writing.

Similar to how social media is something we have shaped and in turn it has shaped us, I'm curious about the research into how much AI prompting can change us and our thinking when we integrate such technologies into our writing and thinking workflow.

We might have an amorphous and unclear thought in our head, and a clever AI gives us an easy suggestion and you go: "That's totally it!" even though you thought of something else entirely.

At some point it feels like AI technologies might shift your thinking away from your 'core individual' self towards a 'AI suggested block'.

that you will not purchase ANY Nestle product

So does that include Nestle base products or Nestle owned products? And does that include Nestle suppliers, retailers and distributers for Nestle, and all the partnerships that Nestle have?

This image gets shared a lot but it is worth noting that the revenue and income streams for large companies are very diversified with all the partnerships and inter connectivity and the image actually undersells Nestle's reach. It feels a bit useless to ban yourself from Coffeemate, and pick up another creamer that is 'store brand' but it turns out that store brand is from Nestle, just repackaged (this happens all the time and it is very hard for the average consumer to figure out what is an ethical product and what isn't).

Is there something a customer can do that is more effective? A high value product from Nestle whos sales you can hurt and really hit their bottom line with? Or an entire laundry list of alternatives for all Nestle partners and owners that is feasible for your average Joe so they don't end up having no options for 30 miles? Or something else like volunteering?

10+ years from now?

Wouldn't be that slow.

No confirmed release date. Plan is to do small yearly updates and small iterations.
