AI is accelerating my work...work which only exists because of AI.

If I had to do my individual tasks without AI, I would be slower. But if I take a step back, I'm really not changing the world any faster than I was before.

I mean, for many years I worked on software applications for provisioning and controlling cloud orchestration platforms that only existed... to serve software applications.

It's not that deep—there were many more verticals outside of control plans, and there are now many more verticals outside of machine learning.

Or am I missing the point?
