working with AI is fundamentally asking someone else to produce the work you want
we spend a lot of time communicating context, goals, giving feedback, setting rewards, shaping workflows and SOPs. it’s a managerial experience
i’ve always felt a bit sad about that, because it took away the experience and joy of being a pure craftsman that produces great work directly
chopin can’t be chopin by hiring a team and telling his employees to compose for him. these masterpieces had to be created by a craftsman directly, and i think many of us humans deep down seek that mastery and joy
when the world gets filled with more and more agents and robots, every human’s job becomes an agent manager
are we sure that’s what we want?
