Over generations of making Microsoft Office one thing we learned is that the easier we made it to create a certain kind of cool looking document (via templates, content, formatting wizards or UX) the less “valuable” or “differentiated” that document type became. When everyone can blow out an org chart in no time then org charts become less valuable. If everyone can make a red/yellow/green cells in Excel then they just become expected and lose their differentiation. This dynamic goes as far back as laser printers or color inkjet or even the first fancy “2 1/2 D charts”. If you’re one-shotting some quick deck in an AI then you can bet the process / collaboration value of that deck is rapidly declining. In knowledge and information work, only the differentiated survives. The baseline keeps moving up.
