Productivity – what is it, can AI help?

Being busy is not the same as being productive. That’s a cliche – but sometimes cliches are useful. When I managed a team of people at a big news website, I knew what productivity meant.

The difference a year makes

This is my last blog post for 2025. It’s been a year! I’ve published 46 posts (not including this one) which amounted to 64,172 words. About half of those were about Generative AI from the perspective of this sensible woman, and about half were personal, like this very post you are reading A colleague […]

The end-of-year Gen AI post: be afraid, be thoughtful

We are almost done with 2025. Time to reflect on a year of generative AI and the emerging dangers – but also to think about what to do about that. The very first edition of the Sensible Woman’s Guide to AI and Content Creation was published on December 5, 2024. That means I’ve been […]
