Can AI Really End Busywork Forever?

Key Takeaways

My first software job was working at Microsoft [music] and I um at the time it took us three years to ship product of which the last year and a half was test and release manufacturing printing CDs. [music] Um and so the the the early part of it was you know you would come and you would you know write these really elaborate specs and you would like you spend all this time in definition cover all your cases and you try to get everything down and then 3 years later you'd have product and then I got to Google and we shipped every day and it was like dramatically different you know the whole process felt different and now all of a sudden you can go and ship like in the meeting and you can ship at you can ship many variations of the idea that kind of busy work [music] is really going to go away and We we are going to be able to get a real time, you know, on one side we're going to get these concrete representations of [music] what we're working on and the other side we're going to free up our people to not do this sort of mundane >> [music] >> uh collection process, busy work process cuz that's like the easiest thing that you can imagine our AI systems doing for [music] us. I I can't tell you how often I'll get off of like a call with a customer and just like feed the transcript [music] into Claude and can literally go in 15 minutes like be like, "All right, I got something I can show you." Which is crazy.
