✦ Part of the series Things I've Learned Experimenting With AI
Most work is recurring work pretending to be one-off.
The report. The summary. The review. The prep. The follow-up. The meeting notes. The risk explanation. The “can you just pull this together?”
We treat these as isolated events because nobody has time to stop and say:
“Wait. Why do we keep doing this from scratch?”
AI is very good at exposing that.
The first time, it helps.
The second time, it suggests a template.
The third time, you realize you may have accidentally discovered a workflow.
The fourth time, you either build a system or continue living as a human copy-paste bridge.
I have been the bridge.
The bridge is tired.
AI’s real value is not doing the thing once.
It is helping you stop doing the same kind of thing from scratch.
