A quick lesson: I used to share my opinions too strongly. It killed what I want: a great conversation.

A trick I learned: add an invite by stating how sure you are. "AI won't steal my job. I'm 70% sure."

It lets you be wrong.

It invites a conversation about the 30% (+ the 70%).

Yea!! I used to have the same problem when I was younger. It feels pretty prevalent too; a lot of men/masculine people have a persistent problem with not having a gradient of certainty (not necessarily their fault, just how some people were raised). I wanna point out btw that the natural language for that is a variable verb like "I know...", "I think...", "I heard on Reddit that...", "I reckon...", etc. · 6 months ago
