Summary
Every breakthrough technology is supposed to make us do more with less. And yet somehow, every time one of these arrives, we end up working more. In this episode, Igor unpacks a paradox he has been living inside for months. The AI tools that were supposed to save him time are costing him more of it. Algorithms that work perfectly for twenty runs and then fall apart on the twenty-first. The honest, unfiltered reality of working with AI when you are a maximizer who refuses to accept anything less than perfect.
