We work on site   
to build rapport  
And yet  
we host all meetings   
v i r t u a l l y  
to get the transcript   
for feeding into AI  
so that AI can tell us  
the nuances  
the expressions  
the underlying meaning  
the subtext that we missed  
because we were remote  
and not in person  
where we could have   
smelled the anger  
or sensed the joy  
and so we rely on GPTs  
to parse the paragraphs  
into pixelated   
go-forward postures  
so that we can understand  
what one human  
said to another  
about technology  
and people  
and processes.  
  
And then we manually  
upload he output  
onto a cloud-based   
storage repository  
where we feed it   
into another GPT  
to confirm the analysis  
which we then pull down  
and manually type  
into a cloud-based spreadsheet  
which we then feed   
to another GPT  
to fuel an agent  
that will tell us   
how to do our jobs.   
  
In the end, I suppose:  
It is not efficient,   
but it is expensive!
