Who’s in the Kitchen? Zen, Work, and AI Slop

You’ve all seen the LinkedIn post that performs insight without containing any. In 1237, Dogen wrote instructions for the monastery cook, arguing that how you prepare a meal is inseparable from your responsibility to the people eating it. Eight centuries later, AI gives us the ability to produce work that looks like care without any care having occurred.

Philippe Alexis will use Dogen to explore how AI can make us careless. He has been practicing Zen mediation and yoga for the past 30 years. He is on the board of Kannon Do. Professionally, he is the CEO of nodiamonds.com and is currently building an AI-powered UX Audit called UXguru.
