Today’s episode reviews an article from Curt Robbins entitled "AI Reasoning Models: The Next Frontier in Artificial Intelligence" that was published on February 7 on LinkedIn.
Hosts Daphne and Fred share their spirited analysis of this informative article and unpack Robbins' explanation of reasoning models. They explain the pros, cons, and future direction of this tech and how it will affect technical writers and documentation specialists.
The pair discuss how ethics and standards are critical as technical writers move into the age of AI. Fact checking has always been and is increasingly an area where human technical writers outperform AI and must serve as gatekeepers to ensure that misinformation and a loss of accuracy does not infect the world of technical documentation.
