Your People Are Not All Right

MIT Sloan Review's publication of "Your People Are Not All Right" highlights professor and author Brené Brown's statement that "people are not OK," emphasizing a widespread mood of being "emotionally dysregulated, distrustful, and disconnected." This observation is particularly relevant in the context of workplace dynamics and leadership. For website owners, this means that their online presence and content may be interacting with an audience that is more emotionally charged and potentially distrustful than before. As a result, website owners should be prepared to handle increased scrutiny and potential backlash from users who are feeling disconnected or dysregulated. This could manifest in increased traffic from AI bots attempting to analyze or mimic human emotions, making it essential for website owners to prioritize AI bot tracking and management. To navigate this landscape, website owners can take several actionable steps: (1) review and update their llms.txt files to ensure they are accurately tracking and managing AI bot traffic, (2) implement content policies that acknowledge and address the emotional state of their audience, and (3) consider using AI-powered tools to analyze user sentiment and adjust their online presence accordingly.
