I'm Kyle Newport and this is Deep Questions, the show about cultivating a deep life

in a distracted world.

So I'm here in my Deep Work HQ, joined as always by my producer Jesse.

Jesse, I have a question for you.

Have you at any point ever used AI to help you while you were writing something. No, a lot of people have been asking you

this though. Have been asking me or been asking you? You, like through email. This I think is the

point. Most people right now know about tools like chat GPT but are not actively using them for

things like to help their writing. But more and more people are.

It's this sort of growing movement.

This is what we're going to get into into our deep dive today.

There's a blockbuster new article that came out of the MIT Media Lab that did some really

interesting experiments to figure out what happens when you're writing with AI.

What is the impact on deep work?

So that's coming up.

I'm going to have a special surprise guest join me to help me dissect that article and

understand this relationship between deep work and AI. So that should be fun, Jesse.

Then we've got questions, including a really good case study where you're going to get a sort of

bullet point description

of the systems for time management and attention management that this particular individual do.

And I think it's a really smart system for those looking for the deep life so that you'll like it.

And then in our final segment, I'm going to do a twist on my normal what I'm reading segment.

I'm adding a twist to it, what I'm not reading.
