"I don't know, an hour before this call, I kicked off two processes that now I didn't even need to start, but I started them. And now I'm going to absolutely add another hour to my day because I'm going to go and do whatever the agent produced. I'm going to go and follow up with all of that work. And I didn't even have to, but it was so easy to kick it off."
Levie argues that AI makes starting work so easy that people will initiate far more projects than before, ultimately creating more work rather than less. He rejects predictions of a 4-day workweek, arguing that any company working five days with AI will produce 20-25% more output than competitors, making industry-wide reduction implausible. He claims every AI-focused founder is currently drowning in work because they can kick off so many processes easily.
