Samantha Enslen: 我认为AI正在改变一些简单的编辑工作，例如转录和撰写简单的摘要。一些客户现在选择自己使用AI工具完成这些任务，这减少了我们这方面的工作。但另一方面，我们也有一些客户尝试用AI生成内容，再由我们进行润色。然而，这种方式反而比我们直接创作更费时费力，因为AI生成的内容需要大量修改才能达到我们的标准。总的来说，我认为AI会提高编辑效率，特别是对于那些重复性高的任务，例如编辑参考文献。AI可以帮助我们快速完成这些任务，让我们有更多时间专注于更重要的工作，例如报告内容的编辑和逻辑的完善。但这并不意味着我们的工作会减少，我认为AI会让我们承担更多工作，而不是减少工作量。我目前还不确定AI对我们公司规模的影响，它可能导致公司规模缩小，也可能带来更多高价值的工作机会，例如制定内容策略和营销策略。作为企业主，我们无法避免使用AI工具来提高效率，因为客户会期待更高的效率。 Mignon Fogarty: 我对AI技术对工作效率的影响感到担忧。如果AI真的提高了效率，减少了工作量，那么我们是否需要减少工作预算？或者我们可以找到更多有意义的工作来填补这些空闲时间？
