Talking to AI at work doesn’t just help us work faster—it makes us feel better. A major HBS study showed that GenAI enhances both productivity and positive emotion, with the biggest gains happening when teams use it collaboratively. But the emotional and cognitive benefits aren’t automatic.

Why does a decent creative work impress us ... until we find out AI created it?

Because of this perceived VALUE equation: V=(E+C+R)×Q

E = Expertise of the creator
C = Creativity/originality of work
R = Relevance to cultural/personal context
Q = Quality of execution
