How I Created My 2nd Brain With AI
Imagine ChatGPT but it knows your firm and works across all your apps
Hello and welcome back to another thrilling day in accounting, as the chairman of PwC warns 25,000 WFH employees via a Zoom call that many may be replaced with AI if they don’t return to the office.
Let’s get to it. Here’s what’s on the menu today:

🗞️ News: Fear of AI May Lure Employees Back to the Office

PwC chairman Kevin Ellis seems to think the future of work will feature less WFH PJs and more office-bound robots.
In the bustling world of corporate bean counting, Ellis is suggesting a new take on AI’s role. He believes that robots and AI could give office life a new lease, bringing workers scurrying back to cubicle land in an attempt to prove they're more than just fleshy versions of Siri or Alexa.
During a live chat on AI, Ellis, addressing his captive audience of 25,000 PwC staff, warned of a future where the fresh-faced new hires might soon find themselves leapfrogging to third-year efficiency thanks to our robot overlords. "Freeing people up to do more", or making them feel like they're in a sci-fi sequel, I’m not too sure.
And get this, he claims that the rise of AI could motivate people to return to the office. The reason? A good old-fashioned face-off. Humans want to prove they've got what robots can’t offer - the human touch. And they might just have to do it the old-fashioned way - in person.
