What was said

"Think about this, right? I was sitting next to my my husband and he was talking to AI and I was we were both working. He was talking to AI and he goes, "Do better to AI.""

Vanessa Van Edwards says that interacting with AI in a blunt, directive way can train people into a less reciprocal communication style. She describes watching her husband tell an AI system to “do better”, and argues people may then need to ‘switch gears’ when returning to conversations with partners, colleagues and friends.
