I miss reading human experiences, written by humans.

Already outsourcing your work to ai? Good for you, hopefully you can enjoy that 10-15 minutes of irony.

Really struggling to follow what author is aiming to convey here. The sentences seem coherent and the language register is sophisticated...but it just doesn't add up. Guessing it's something about this flow club thing whatever that may be - some sort of context that the author has in his/her head that the reader does not.

I don't understand these blog posts. Unless you're an absolute beginner, what is so hard about doing any of these tasks yourself or reviewing AI output? AI won't think for you. It just (sort of) does work you delegate to it. It's from this perspective that you might get productivity gains, but the human in the loop is still the bottleneck. This doesn't mean you remove the human. It means the human decides how much they need AI. There is no AI workflow that removes the human and magically does exactly what was intended. That's wishful thinking.
