Stop Doing Work AI Should Be Doing... But Keep This Part Human

Stop Doing Work AI Should Be Doing... But Keep This Part Human

Comment "fastmoss." AI productivity is going through a shift that most people haven't named yet. It started with vibe coding, where you stopped typing the code and started telling something else to write it.

Now that same layer of abstraction is showing up across the entire white collar toolset: spreadsheets, docs, email, data analysis. In this video I walk through why this feels weird right now, why it won't for long (calculators and ride sharing went through the same thing), and the frame I use to decide what to hand off to AI agents and what to keep human.

TLDR: keep the big thing the big thing, use AI to make it bigger, and abstract everything else as aggressively as quality and privacy allow. This one is more of a walk-and-listen episode than a tool review.
