Generative A.I.: The speechwriter for the rest of us
Writing in the Wednesday, October 29, 2025 Financial Times, Amit Singhal of Tarrytown, NY, points out that senior leaders enjoy the services of professional speechwriters, while the “little people” who lack access to these resources,. can now turn to generative A.I. for assistance.
The position Singhal was responding to was that of Jemima Kelly’s October 20 Opinion piece ‘AI is killing some of the magic of life’ who bemoans the fact that generative A.I. is “killing some of the magic of creativity”. Which is surprising for a journalist who has to meet deadlines, that, as in corporate comms, require content is produced on schedule and on point. And if the matter was assisted by A.I., I believe, more power to the writer who makes intelligent use of the tool.
I would be willing to put money on another well-received speech I witnessed recently being heavily assisted by artificial intelligence. Even if I’m wrong, the very fact that the thought occurred to me … greatly diminished my enjoyment. … I can’t help feeling that AI is, nonetheless, killing some of the magic of life. … While yes, I’m sure AI can “boost” or “supercharge” your creativity as countless blog posts, social media threads and podcasts will tell you, it can also hugely limit it. So even if we get to a place in which AI truly does eclipse human creativity, it is this channeling that we must preserve if we are to keep experiencing what it means to be a human.
