Why do I ignore the AI in my work, or let it run unchecked?
Here is the actual situation. Something now moves your meetings, drafts your replies, edits your documents. You did not sit down and decide what it should do. You just notice it, sometimes after it has already acted. You tell yourself you're too busy to check every time. Look at that honestly. You are not too busy — you are avoiding the smaller, harder task of deciding what this thing is allowed to do without you. That decision takes ten minutes. The avoiding has already cost you more. The stakes are small until they aren't. A meeting moved wrong. A reply sent in your name. A line changed in a document you signed. None of it is dramatic. All of it is yours, whether you looked or not.
Neither ignoring it nor trusting it blindly is a decision — it's the absence of one. Choose a posture: review every action before it happens, or hand it a narrow task you have tested and verified works. Indifference is not safety. It is just risk you haven't looked at yet.
