Most Work is Translation - by Aparna Chennapragada - ACD - This is a great metaphor: ”To me, LLMs have the potential to be the Babel fish of work, the little creature from Hitchhiker’s Guide that instantly translates whatever goes into your ear. Except here, it’s not speech alone. It’s papers into briefs, meetings into memos, data into charts, ideas into roadmaps etc.” // So much of knowledge work figuring out what the fuck people are saying and what you should do. And, on the other end, figuring out how tell people that. Using GenAI to de-BS business talk, and hopefully generate more actionable (hah!) talk would be great.
