"Automation" Isn't the Answer to Most Things — and How I Made This Video

Why do the people teaching AI keep bringing up "automation"? I don't think automation is the answer to everything, or even to most things. Plus a few words on how I made Ep27.


Why do the people teaching AI keep bringing up “automation”? I don’t think automation is the answer to everything, or even to most things.

The words scammers love to throw around the most: “financial freedom,” “passive income,” “AI automation.”

Notice what these words have in common? They all let the listener fantasize about kicking back and doing nothing. Hilarious.

How I Made This Video

So when I was making this video, I actually spent a while thinking about how to present it.

Go too deep and it’s hard to absorb. Go too shallow and I’m afraid it makes automation seem too easy. In the end I decided not to cover everything — just to talk about the tools I know best, and how I judge whether a task should be “automated” at all.
