I’m a fairly normal person, living a fairly normal life, doing fairly normal work. And, like many others, I think a lot about AI — how it is working and how it might potentially change our world. I am in no way an AI propagator selling the promise of effortless work, nor a doomsday skeptic who only sees problems with it. This post is in no way an attempt to sway anyone in any direction. It is merely a way for me to process some recent thoughts on the topic, and I expect to change my footing many times before we know how this ends.

A few days ago I attended the myConf conference. In one of the presentations, the LEGO® Serious Play® concept was introduced. My first impression was that it seemed a bit forced — a way to sell more LEGO. But after mulling it over, my perspective started to shift. There could be real value in the process. As an educator and occasional facilitator of workshops, I can see potential in the method.
